Fundraise

Virtual Fundraising

Coronavirus has changed the face of fundraising, and whilst events have been cancelled, demand for our services is at an all-time high. Therefore, we are asking our supporters to do what they can by fundraising virtually in the comfort of their own homes.

To highlight the fact 1 in 24 people in the borough of Newham are homeless, we are launching our 24 CHALLENGE. What this means is: You choose the target, you choose the activity, you choose the timeframe. Here are 24 ideas to get you started:

1. 24 hours in fancy dress
2. 24 hour sponsored silence
3. 24 hour danceathon
4. 24 hour walk
5. 24km run
6. 24 mile cycle
7. 24 days running 1km
8. 24 good deeds!
9. 24 day social media blackout
10. 24 hour no phone challenge
11. 24 days without snacking

Other ways to help:

For some, their preferred way of supporting people experiencing homelessness is to make a donation - big or small, every donation received has the ability to make a difference to someone's life.

For others, it’s about volunteering their skills and time to directly make a difference.
