Fundraise with your community

Your community, church, or school could 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.

get your community involved

There are so many fantastic ways to get your community group, church or school involved. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:

  • Organise a collection: invite your community to give generously, knowing that every penny raised is a step towards transforming a young person’s life.
  • Host an event: whether it’s a bake sale, a Weighted Walk, or a prayer vigil, get your community involved and inspire others to join you. Don’t forget to spread the word on social media and let your local newspaper know too.
  • Festival giving: religious festivals such as Lent, Ramadan, and other spiritual occasions are a time of 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.
