Organise an Event or Fundraiser

In your community, school, with family and friends, at work or by yourself – however you want to fundraise, we’re here to support you all the way.

Whether you’d like to bake, climb a mountain or host a games night, there are so many fun ways for you to raise funds for those facing homelessness in our community. And we’ve got lots of great ideas, tips and advice to get you started. We can also send you everything you need to make your event a success like balloons, posters, t-shirts, and collection buckets.

GET FUNDRAISING

Offline Fundraising:
If you would like to organise to collect funds using a Galway Simon sponsorship card or collection bucket, please get in touch to arrange this.

Online Fundraising:
Set up your preferred fundraising platform (e.g. Facebook or iDonate) Here you can decide on a fundraising target and track your donations. Family and friends can also leave you notes of encouragement and goodwill.

RETURN YOUR FUNDS

When everything is wrapped up, don’t forget to return your money if in cash, coin or cheque form. If you have chosen to fundraise online, the funds will (in most cases) automatically be transferred into Galway Simon’s account.

Your fundraising makes a big difference to the individuals and families who are at risk of, or experiencing homelessness in the West. We want to say THANK YOU!
