Raising funds when disaster strikes is vital to help get aid to where it is needed most. Thank you for taking action to help raise funds and awareness for families whose homes have been destroyed by disaster.
On this page you can find useful resources to help you with your fundraising. From guides on supermarket collections to fundraising posters, we have you covered.
How to fundraise
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. 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.

Say thanks
Everyone who donates, takes part or turns up at your event, will be helping you to shelter more families after disaster. Those families won’t be able to send their thanks, so make sure you do it for them.
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.
