Fundraising for Catching Lives

 

Anyone can get involved with fundraising to support Catching Lives, whether it's as an individual, at your school, church, university or workplace. You might wish to arrange your own fundraising initiatives, or become a fundraising volunteer to support our fundraising in-house. 

Fundraising Ideas

There are many ways to help raise funds, large or small! Every contribution makes a difference. You could choose:

  • A bake sale

  • A sponsored challenge - run, walk, swim! 

  • A quiz night

  • A fancy dress day 

  • Ask your school about a non-uniform day

  • A charity music event 

  • A collection of essential items

  • Or become a Fundraising Volunteer and support Catching Lives with hosting events and fundraising collections (find out more below)

We can support you by providing materials and resources. If you are hosting an event and would like a member of our team to attend or promote your activity on our social media, please let us know.

If you've got your own ideas and would like some help or wish to discuss it further, email our Fundraising Coordinator, Georgia:

fundraising@catchinglives.org

or call 01227 464904
