Fundraising
Like most charities we cannot make a difference without vital funds.
We are keen to support anybody that wants to help us make a difference, every single penny given to the Foundation will go directly to pay for building and project costs in developing countries to benefit the local community and won't be spent on UK administration, which are covered by key supporters, our trustees and volunteers.
Justgiving for fundraisers
This is a fantastic free of charge facility that allows you to build your own mini-webpage for all your supporters to learn of your fundraising event or activity and commit to sponsoring you online. The link can be sent via e-mail to everyone you know!!
