We believe that every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the chance to thrive. Your community can be the spark that lights the path for young people at risk of homelessness. By fundraising together, your community could offer a young person safety, security and the hope for a brighter future.
We’re delighted you’ve chosen to join us and to support young people at risk of homelessness. We’ve put together a handy fundraising pack filled with ideas and advice, and we hope it will inspire you and help get you started. If you’d like any more information, please email us at fundraising@depaulcharity.org.uk and one of our team will be in touch.
Collections: Organise a special collection to show your support for our vital work. Invite your community members to give generously, knowing that every penny raised is a step towards transforming a young person’s life.
Events: Host a charity event—whether it’s a bake sale, a Weighted Walk, or a prayer vigil. Get your local community involved and inspire others to join you. Acts of kindness like this are a great opportunity for your and your community to show how much you care.
Engagement: Involve everyone in your community in the fundraising effort. Spread the word on social media and contact your local newspaper. This is great way of getting more people involved in your fundraising event.
Giving: Use religious festivals such as Lent, Ramadan, and other spiritual occasions to encourage charitable giving. During Lent, for example, you could ask your community to give up a daily or weekly luxury like a trip to the coffee shop, and donate what they save instead – turning a personal act of faith into a powerful force for good.
Don’t forget to head to our Just Giving Page and set up up your own fundraiser.
