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:
- 24 hours in fancy dress
- 24 hour sponsored silence
- 24 hour danceathon
- 24 hour walk
- 24km run
- 24 mile cycle
- 24 days running 1km
- 24 good deeds!
- 24 day social media blackout
- 24 hour no phone challenge
- 24 days without snacking
- 24 minutes of keepy uppies
- 24 prize raffle
- 24 clue treasure hunt
- 24 hour skipping challenge
- 24 hours stranded in your bathtub

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.
