How does Cure Parkinson’s fundraise?

Our charity is blessed with a fairly blended portfolio. Roughly two-thirds of what we make is through philanthropic-focused activities. We also have a healthy community and events portfolio with some other ancillary parts, which brings in another third of income. For the last two years, we’ve raised over £2m, but we’ve increased the budget for this year to £3.3m, with a roughly £2m and £1m split respectively between those key areas.

Trusts is another important strand, historically accounting for £500,000 to £600,000, which we are looking to grow to £750,000 this year. Major donor activity is also very supportive, as is corporate activity, with which we’ve had some great success this year already such as our partnership with the Lloyds of London group.
