We Join Revolutionary New Funding Initiative

Mandy Smithson on 26/04/2010

We have recently teamed up with a website that allows children to create a birthday wish list, while simultaneously raising money for charity. The online service timto.co.uk, is a corporate member of the Institute of Fundraising and the Fundraising Standards Board, and was established to replace the small individual gifts that children receive on their birthday. Instead, guests are encouraged to make a contribution to the child’s very own timto birthday fund and make a donation to charity. “The YMCA is delighted to be associated with timto. Our involvement in this unique concept enables us to show young people that people from all walks of life can find themselves homeless, and this will give a new generation an opportunity to reach out and make a difference to someone’s life”. “In teaming up with the YMCA, we hope to be able to encourage children across the whole of the UK to support such worthy organisations and to teach them the true value of a gift”.
