As the end of 2025 and our financial year end approaches, we are grateful to members who have increased their donations, whether through regular standing orders or direct debits, or in response to therapies received. Your generosity to our appeal has already had a positive impact. However, continued support remains essential, as sustaining funding for the Centre continues to present significant challenges.
Outlined below are the costs incurred by BMSTC for the provision of core services. These figures reflect expenses such as staff, utilities, and materials, and are aligned with fees charged by private practices where relevant. Please consider these sums when you make your donations for any service you benefit from.
- £70 – one-to-one physiotherapy session or assessment
- £19 – group therapy class
- £63 – counselling session
- £55 – footcare appointment
- £12 – yoga or relaxation class
Being honoured with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service in November lifted our spirits and acknowledges the dedication of all our volunteers who support our charity. Additionally, this award shows potential donors that BMSTC is a reputable and well-managed organisation, which strengthens our standing when applying for future grants.
BMSTC needs additional financial support to ensure its future. While the Fundraising Team pursues grants, we also encourage members to donate as much as possible. For information on setting up a standing order or direct debit, or adjusting your current payments, please contact Nikki Harris on nikki@bmstc.org.
As the festive season approaches, I’d like to thank you for your continued support of our wonderful facility and wish you a very Merry Christmas, and if you don’t celebrate, my warmest wishes for the season.
Neil Dawkins
Chairman
