Why fundraise for Shelter Scotland
We believe that a home is a fundamental right.
We exist to fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society. We campaign to create a future where a safe home is available for everyone.
Every year, our advice services support thousands of people dealing with unsuitable housing or homelessness.
Your fundraising supports everything we do.
Fundraising ideas for your faith group
Hold a bake sale
Get your best cake makers together and hold a bake sale after your service or meeting.
Hold a Purim fancy dress competition
Challenge members of your synagogue to find the best costume at Purim. Fundraise by charging an entry fee per participant. Ask the children to judge who is the best dressed.
Celebrate Diwali together
Hold a small dinner or get-together to celebrate the festival of light. Ask your guests to make a donation to attend.
Hold a community iftar
Holding an iftar is a great way to bring your community together. Raise money for us as you break your fast during Ramadan.
Share skills
Do you know a talented chef, expert florist or a wonderful crafter? Ask them to lead a class teaching their specialist skill. Ask for a donation from each attendee.
Give something up
Can't go a day without some chocolate or a latte from your favourite coffee shop? Give up something for a time. Donate the money you would have spent to Shelter Scotland.
Hold a concert
Organise a carol concert or hymns recital with your congregation. Ask for donations at the door.
Ask your church to have a retiring collection
Raise money with your congregation by holding a collection during a church service.
