LittleBlueCup Needs YOUR Help

Donation protected
You know how we help so many families? And so many people say we are doing an amazing thing and how wonderful it is?

We would like a little help ourselves.

We have grown from a tiny page that started as a thank you, to knocking on 10k's door and turning out on average 40 finds a week.

We are just volunteers, Marc running the main background Project and overseeing everything whilst building vital relations with key future partners, as well as looking after the incredible volunteer Team. Allan works full time but helps out overseeing things and being a critical friend to the project, as well as helping on the page when he can,

We have recently grown a small but extremely dedicated team of volunteers that do soooooo much to help now, no way could we do this without them - thank you all.

The Page itself basically costs nothing to run, except it's supported by a website that costs money to host and develop, and there is a system being built to manage searches.

Currently, we are running on thin air, all the money we have been donated has long gone, our monthly costs are approaching £500 without anything like wages or small personal expenses, we are covering most it from our own pockets. To get on with the bigger Project, to challenge the conversation around Autism, to prove the needs of our children both now and as they grow into adults, to make an impact…. we need equipment, we need resources, we need to pay for skills. Oh, and we need to pay the bills!

Some people just simply can't afford to buy that item they so badly need or pay the postage. We will never let them go without, we always step in. We will personally always be skint!

We need money. We are going to grow and grow and make a difference, make that impact, educate, show the World. But we need YOUR help.

As well as the bigger Project we provide the amazing Page and are the last port of call for families in genuine need, we are not a wish list service and we are not here to provide free items.

Remember why this all started?

Remember #CupForBen? Ben was rushed to hospital once more last week because he was severely dehydrated and lost consciousness on the school bus. So no, we are not here to save you a few quid, we are here to change lives.

We want to take on Autism agendas worldwide and shake things up! We want to be the voice for our families and really start making a difference. We want to challenge the conversation, change the record. We want to work with major companies to shape the way they provide items for children and adults with Autism so that eventually the need for our services reduces significantly.

We are working with a production company from Northern Ireland looking at how we can develop our own interactive series on all the Autism topics nobody else talks about.  This is a huge deal, but it's not free.  If we can make it and we can sell it we will do very well from it and the Project will be well funded for some time to come.  But to get there costs.

We hope that YOU, our friends, will continue to support the journey this Page and the bigger Project is on, and we look forward to having you by our side as we progress through.

Currently, the Project is setup as a sole trading organisation in the name LittleBlueCup, and we are working on the best way forward with our Social Enterprise. Most likely it will become a Community Interest Company. Either way, we don’t make a profit, every single penny raised goes into the Project so we can make a difference. Make that impact.

We know some of you simply won't be able to donate, and that is of course absolutely fine. Maybe you could share the Facebook post with your friends and family and encourage them to consider helping LittleBlueCup?

If you are able to donate then thank you, we are so very grateful for your kindness and generosity. Even a couple of pounds would be amazing and if enough of you donated just that it would totally transform our little Project and allow us to make more of an impact.

If you'd like to make a monthly pledge and become one of our official Friends then please visit www.Patreon.com/LittleBlueCup and pledge whatever you can per month.

And don't forget you can help without giving a penny. Just visit https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/littlebluecup/ and register, then go via that page when you shop online. It costs you not a penny more, but we earn for every pound you spend. Have a look, it's so simple.

Lastly, just liking and sharing our Page makes a huge difference, liking and commenting on every post and sharing with your friends and family, that's how people get involved.


Thank you for your continued support.
