Easter fundraising ideas for churches

We have put together a special Easter service for your church featuring prayers, hymns and readings with the theme of 'the perfect garden'.

With the booklet is a free packet of seeds, to symbolise new life and hope. Why not plant and nurture the seeds as a congregation, as a reminder that flowers, like children, need a safe, sheltered environment in which to thrive.

By holding an Easter service and a collection in aid of Shelter, your church will be helping families in need sow the seeds for a brighter future. See how your donation could help. Thank you for your support!
