Fundraise

Across the world, millions of refugees need support as they struggle under some of the most difficult of circumstances imaginable. Thankfully everyone has a talent, hobby or passion that they can put to good use to help ensure refugees get the assistance they need.
Are you an excellent baker, or a keen runner? Perhaps you love to sing and dance, or a knack for organising events? Whatever it is that you are passionate about, we’d love to help you use it to support refugees. If you have a fundraising idea you’d like to discuss or if there are any resources that might be useful for your event, get in touch by emailing us at donors@unhcr.org.
Fundraising ideas

Dinner party: Invite some friends over and get them to donate for your food. You could even organise a ‘Come Dine With Me’ competition.
Sponsored walk: Gather some friends or family and enjoy the outdoors while doing your bit to support refugees.
Film night: Prepare the popcorn, get comfy and have a donation box ready for your movie marathon.

Cake sale: If you would rather skip the exercise then ask people to donate to eat cakes instead!

Talent show: Everyone can get involved – whether it’s doing a cover of their favourite song or selling tickets on the opening night.
Quiz night: Pay to play – easy! But the questions might not be...
