Fundraising

Turning Point Scotland's Fundraising Department aims to achieve added value for the benefit of the people who use our services by raising funding which impacts positively and directly on their lives. Sometimes funding can be for a relatively small and inexpensive item and sometimes it can be the core funding for a brand new service supporting vulnerable people. In either case our aim would be to improve the lives and future prospects of the people we support.

TPS is a member of the Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB) self regulatory scheme.  As members of this scheme we follow the practices of the Institute of Fundraising Codes of Fundraising Practice and comply with the key principles embodied in the Codes and in this Promise.

The charity raises funds from a variety of sources including Charitable Trusts, companies, individuals and events to enhance our work. Last year saw the opening of our Turnaround criminal justice service for young men. A third of the annual budget for this new service came from fundraised income with the Scottish Government then committing to funding the balance.

Know someone who's getting married?

Many marrying couples already have all they need in their home and increasingly are now turning to an ethical choice of gift list.  The Scottish Wedding List is the charitable gift list service that gives marrying couples and their guests a choice of charities to donate to and TPS is one of the charities benefiting.  You can also use their other services for a birthday, christening, or any other even you're celebrating.  Find out more at http://www.thescottishweddinglist.co.uk/ Go on...spread the word.
