Help us to support you
Please give what you can
We work with nurses and midwives every day, supporting them with their Fitness to Practice cases.
Our support work generates expenses, whether the cost of ‘showing up’ to help people face-to-face, running costs of this website, phones, events, or service subscriptions.
We try to help registrants who are struggling financially during their FtP process. This can be the difference between people surviving through it and, at the end of the process, being in a better place to move on in rebuilding their careers and lives, or not.
Please donate anything you can. Even buying us a coffee or two makes a difference to our work.
Thank you!
What your donations help pay for
Supporting one registrant through FtP –
£200 per day for Mackenzie’s friend
(For in-person hearings, the NMC will pay expenses for the registrant but not their legal rep/assistant.)
£75 per night (cheap) London hotel accommodation
£100 average return travel ticket to London
£100 per diem support payment to registrant.
- We offer support for people at hearings when we can. We would like to be able to do this more regularly.
- Most hearings are virtual now but a per diem to support time away from work really helps registrants.
“Buy a cuppa” – donate towards a recovery pack. Goodie bags for registrants having a particularly tough time (chocolate, candle, gift card, etc).
Core costs
The need for our services is growing fast. The irony is not lost on us that we are now on the NMC’s list of organisations that registrants are signposted to for support with FtP.
This means we are getting many more people contacting us for help.
To meet this demand, our costs have increased and now include a part-time Administrator.
On-boarding
£15 admin cost of getting a new registrant onto the support group.
On average it takes at least 40 mins – 1hr once checks and a video call are completed.
Annual subscriptions
£130 website hosting
£150 CRM
£120 Zoom
£500 Insurance
