How We Raise Funds

People-powered giving for practical change.

Our purpose in practice

Rescue Mission’s How We Raise Funds page invites supporters to organise fundraising events, participate in community activities and encourage others to back its work with children, families and vulnerable communities.

Examples on the charity’s site include sponsored walks, runs and cycles, school fundraising, bake sales, street collections and seasonal campaigns. It also encourages personal and organisational giving.
