CARI Services

• The purpose of the funding is to raise money for the ongoing services of therapy, accompaniment and helpline

• Money raised will go towards shortening waiting lists for children and increasing therapy hours.

What CARI Wants To Do . .

How Will CARI Do It. .With Your Help!

• From Me2You is in the spirit of young people reaching out and helping young people so that they can move forward and not have their lives defined by the trauma of sexual abuse

• A fundraising package “From Me to You” will be given to the transition year students. They will be asked to hold various fundraising events throughout the year, after which they are encouraged to evaluate how they got on

• We would hope for a target of €1,000 to be reached within the year, however, every Euro will make the difference in the lives of young people attending CARI

The “From Me to You” Package

A fundraising expert will come and advise the school and give;

1. A brief outline of what the CARI Foundation do

2. A listing of possible fundraising ideas

3. Templates & ideas for monitoring monies raised, targets reached

4. An evaluation sheet for the class on the process

5. Leaflets on all the services CARI provides

6. Certificate for the school on completion

What Does CARI Get. . .

• Our profile as an organisation will be increased on a local & national level
