Without incredible fundraisers like you, we wouldn't be able to continue to provide emergency food parcels and essential support. We'd love to help with any ideas you have, so please get in touch.

Organise a food collection

Organising a food collection is an effective way you can food raise for us. By collecting our most needed items and everyday essentials you can make a big difference. Get in touch for advice on setting up your food collection.

Tips for a successful collection:

  • Choose a busy location e.g. school reception, office foyer, church entrance
  • Focus on our most needed items
  • Set a target
  • Make sure people know about the collection – share through newsletters or on social media
  • Contact us to arrange a drop–off

Host a fundraising event

Fundraising events are a fun way to bring the community together while championing our cause and raising vital funds. From comedy nights to a schoolwide sponsored silence, bake sales to an auction of promises, your event will help us buy essential items and keep our services running, so we can support those in need.

There are some helpful hints and ideas in our handy fundraising booklet.
