Fund Raising

As a small charity we rely totally on volunteers to raise funds to cover the costs of the work we do. We do this in many ways:

• Attending galas with stalls, raffles, tombola's

• Auctions, one-off fundraising events

• Collections in town & at Barnsley football ground etc.

To be involved with this activity you will need to be:

• Outgoing and willing to chat to people about the charity

• Good with money (handling change etc)

• Able to give at least one half day support to a particular event

You can also support us by doing your own sponsored event and raising money for us such as running a marathon, climbing a mountain, jumping out of an aeroplane, doing a sponsored walk or silence.
