There are many ways you can get involved with People in Need.
Every penny that is donated to People in Need goes directly to the current project in Romania. The volunteers receive no payment and fund their own expenses.
If you would like to donate you can do online by clicking here.
However if you wish to raise money for this year’s project then here are a few ideas on events you could run.
Sponsorship
Get your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. Over the years people have done some amazing things to raise money for charities by sponsorship. Here are a few examples:
- Swimming
- Cycling
- Giving something up (Not chocolate! That’s too nice to give up)
- Silence
- Climbing Mountains
- Jumping out of planes (using a parachute is always advisable!!)
- Bungee Jump
Coffee Morning’s
Have a good old natter while selling Cakes, Tea & Coffee etc. and proceeds can be donated to People in Need.
Car Boot
Clear out your lofts, cupboards and sheds of items you no longer need; sell them at a car boot sale and donate the takings.
BOGOF
You know that advert for windows, “You buy one, you get one free!!!!! I said you buy one, you get one free!!!!!” Why not save the money you would have used buying the second item in the shop and donate that money to people in need.
Community Project
Does your local church, social club or even your place of work need a project to work on? Why not involve them and get creative?
Selling Produce
Have a green thumb? Why not grow some veg and sell it to friends and family and donate the money you receive
Donate regularly
Why not make a promise to yourself to make a regular donation each month from your income.
Knit one, Purl one.
We are always looking for blankets to take over to help the people in Romania stay warm at night. If you are a dab hand at knitting why not knit a blanket or two.
Every little bit helps us towards our target for this year’s project, so thank you for anything you are able to do.
