Community fundraising ideas

Your fundraising helps us fight for people affected by the housing emergency.

Could you use your flair for party planning to create an event to remember?

Housing is a human rights issue, and people are more likely to be affected by the housing emergency if they have a disability. When you bring people together for quizzes, comedy nights, discos, and so much more, the money you raise helps us fight for a fairer housing system.
