Fundraising is a big part of what we do at WE CARE and is something that needs to be done annually if we are to be able to run our treatment programmes.
We have 3 fundraising events planned for this year, the first of which is the One Day At A Time Challenge which will run for 12 weeks from 5 May 2025 to 21 July 2025.
