Ways You can Support Us

The Living Paintings Trust receives no statutory funding. We are totally dependent upon voluntary donations from individuals, businesses and grant making trusts. Each donation makes a real difference to our work.

It is a core principle of the Trust that all its services are provided completely free of charge to all blind and partially sighted people. This means that there are no barriers, particularly financial, to those in need being able to benefit. Your gifts make this possible.

We make touch and sound packs each of which needs financing, and these are sent out via our free, postal Library Service. Each member of our Library can receive as many loans as they like each year. It costs us £36 per year to provide this service to each Library Member.

Please Consider Making a Donation and Making a Difference.
