How to fundraise for charity

You will find here a selection of quick and simple charity fundraising ideas for your events and volunteer trip abroad. Many people are very happy to sponsor their friends and family members who are raising funds for charity, especially when they have a clear target.

Why would people sponsor you?

Our best tip: askYou will only be able to raise money for charity you ask for it. The more people you approach, the more money you will raise.

Remember, you are not requesting money for yourself, you are asking on behalf of Habitat for Humanity GB. The money you raise gives a hand up to real people around the world living in extreme poverty. It changes their lives permanently.
