Bring the story of ShelterBox to life by inviting a ShelterBox speaker to your event
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or marking a milestone, including ShelterBox in your celebration, will help families on the road to recovery after disaster.
With so many ways to raise money for ShelterBox, we’ve got lots to help make it happen, your way.

We’ve got a range exciting activities and fundraising ideas for schools, youth groups and families to enjoy, whilst supporting families around the world after disaster.
Meet Rakhi, a junior doctor at Birmingham A&E, who has used her lockdown paintings to raise money for ShelterBox.
After busy and challenging shifts during the coronavirus crisis, she picks up her easel and paints her worries away.
Rakhi posts her artwork on Instagram and sells prints and originals for donations on JustGiving.
She has now raised over £600 for ShelterBox and has rekindled her passion for painting, something she hasn’t had the time to do in years.
Make a plan
Try and think of something that is both impressive and achievable. Think about whether you want to do it alone or in a team. Consider whether you want to sign up to one of our events or run your own. Set a date and decide on how much you want to raise. Don’t be afraid to think big!
Tell everyone
Shout about what you’re doing at any available opportunity. Use posters, emails, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to let everyone know how they can get involved. Set up a Just Giving fundraising page to support your fundraiser efforts.

Pay up
After your event, you can donate the money you’ve raised quickly and easily. Take a look at all the ways you can pay in here and don’t forget to close your online fundraising page if you set one up.
