Fundraising inspiration

Last year Valerie Allen gave up her bed and camped out in her garden for 40 nights of lent.

Valerie camped out in all conditions including snow – raising over £2000 for those in need.

Valerie shares: “I made the decision to sleep in a tent for 40 nights when the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria happened and could not begin to imagine how it might feel to lose your home and even loved ones in a matter of minutes, so Tent for Lent was a challenge I felt I had to do.” – Valerie Allen

Pay in your fundraising

Your gift will provide lifesaving aid for people affected by the crisis in Lebanon. If we receive more donations than needed for our response in Lebanon, your money will go towards providing emergency shelter to people affected by other disaster around the world.

These are examples of what your money could provide in Lebanon. Whatever you’re able to give, you’ll help to provide urgent shelter and essential items, wherever the need is greatest.
