Unique fundraising ideas

Your fundraising helps fight for people in unsuitable and unsafe housing conditions. Check out our ideas and top tips for your corporate fundraising event.

You can help champion the fight for home by organising a quiz night or chess competition. Ask your friends or work colleagues to donate £10 to compete or ask for donations through JustGiving. You could even livestream your game or quiz to create the event of the year. All the money you raise goes towards ending the housing emergency and makes you a champion of housing rights.
