Help QEF survive,

so disabled people can thrive

Richard talk’s about how QEF gave him back his life.

Survive and Thrive

Like many other charities, QEFs fundraising income has been massively hit by the Coronavirus pandemic. Within the first few weeks of lock down, as multiple large-scale events were cancelled, we were £500,000 down in income with a predicted shortfall of £1 million by the end of July. This is vital income that we rely on to keep our services going and these are very large sums for a charity of our size.

In the last few months we have worked very hard to do everything possible to bridge this funding gap, including furloughing staff, looking at other funding options and selling assets. But now we urgently need your help. We need to raise £500,000 by the end of September to ensure our services can continue to support disabled people to achieve their potential. QEF needs your help to survive, so that disabled people can thrive.

Thank you for any support you can give us at this very challenging and difficult time.
