Fundraising Opportunities and Ideas

Open Arms International is reliant on the generosity and good will of people like you to enable us to be able to carry out the project work that we do, and help transform the lives of so many.

This page is devoted to listing a few of the many different ways that individuals, groups, businesses, schools etc can get involved with raising funds for Open Arms. It is not an exhaustive list by any means, and if you have an idea that you would like to share with others then please do let us know about it, but we hope that this will give you a few ideas to start with.

Do please check back regularly as extra fundraising opportunities will be added, and if you have any questions, or would like to get some resources to support fundraising events then please contact Helen Harrison: helen@openarms.org.uk.

Helen will also be able to help with advising on how to pay in monies etc, including the use of Justgiving.com, a safe, secure and very versatile way of donating money on-line
