Why do we have to charge?
As a charity, Bright Light receives some financial support from Scottish Government, Local Authorities in Lothian plus grants and income from some trust funds. Together this accounts for around 30-40% of our income, but the bulk of the money we need to survive comes from you, our clients.
How is our service funded?
Bright Light is an independent charity and not part of the Social Work Department or the Health Service. We are a self-financing not-for-profit agency and we rely on client contributions to provide our service.
If you are a UK taxpayer you could help the service further by signing our Gift Aid declaration form here. This means that we could receive an additional 25p for every £1 you donate to us. You would only have to sign the form once and it will not cost you anything extra to do this.
