A few things we’d like you to know before you give
This short film produced in April 2013 tells the story of three service-users whose lives have been made so much better because of support from THE FED. They all voice one message – they don’t know how they would have coped without us.
You can donate by post to THE FED, Fundraising Department, HEATHLANDS VILLAGE, Heathlands Drive, Prestwich M25 9SB, set up a standing order, donate by phone on 0161 772 4800 or by any of the methods shown below:
