Due to our charity status, we rely heavily on donations and fundraising to carry out Carer Support Wiltshire’s work.
There are many ways, great and small, in which you can donate something to us. Please remember that every amount helps.
If you do choose to support us in any way then thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you've got an old mobile phone or have some used printer ink catridges lying around; perhaps you might consider recycling them in aid of us. All you have to do is head to their website, get some free envelopes to send it off in, and hey presto, you've just helped us out!
ploink! is a great new site offering you the chance to donate small amounts of change rather than whopping great amounts.
You can 'ploink' in as little or as much as you like into a virtual piggy bank just for us – just like dropping your spare change into a collecting tin.
Once a piggy bank has at least 99p in it you're able to donate the money.
Every penny makes a difference – start ploinking now!
There's not many people in the UK who don't now use a mobile phone. Texting is one of the easiest and most convenient ways for people to communicate. So why not communicate a donation? It's quick, easy, and it'll make a difference.
One text to show you CARE about Carers.
Text CARE40 £2/£5/£10 to 70070 e.g. CARE40 £5
Hands up if you shop online? This is maybe one of the easiest ways to support a charity of your choice. When you go to buy something online, if you simply sign-up and go via this website we will receive a percentage of what you pay instantly donated to us with no extra cost to you.
So you support us through buying something you would have been buying anyway. Simple!
Then there's just good old giving a bit of money with no extra gimmicks. You can do this online through our Charity Giving page which is safe and secure. Charity Giving is a charity itself so they don't charge us any silly fees from people kindly donating to us.

Fundraising/Sponsored Events
To date we have organised one raffle ourselves which, with the help of generous local and national companies, helped us to raise £1,130 for Carer Support Wiltshire.
We would be delighted if people would like to hold any form of fundraising activity or consider being sponsored for an event in aid of our charity. Please contact us to discuss any ideas you may have.
White Horse Relay - Sunday 30th September 2012
We are pleased to announce that once again the White Horse Relay is being run in aid of Carer Support Wiltshire.
Now in its third year the White Horse Relay has revealed many new routes not even known to local runners. The idea was to run between the eight White Horses of Wiltshire using the trails shown on the Ordnance Survey maps.
The three longest stages are nearly 10 miles, but the shortest is only a fraction over 5 miles - so much choice, each team member can choose a route to give them just what they want and lots of lovely views.
If you are interested in taking part, or entering a team into the relay, please take a look at the website.
They will also be looking for volunteers to help with the event which may appeal to the less keen runners amongst you!
