Help us raise vital funds to make life better for carers
Fundraising through your faith-based organisation is a fantastic way to bring your community together and raise vital funds for Carers UK. We rely greatly on donations to support our work and have lots of ideas to help you and your group help make life better for carers.
Charity of the Year
Does your faith group have a Charity of the Year? Could you nominate Carers UK? We’d love to have your support. Our Events and Community Fundraising Officer would be delighted to hear from you, answer your questions and help you get started: fundraising@carersuk.org
Hold a collection
Your small change can make a big difference. Collections are not just a great way to raise vital funds, they also help raise awareness of the work that we do, and the services that we can offer to help make life better for carers.
Find out what is involved and decide whether it’s right for your group.
