FUNDRAISE
There are all sorts of wonderful ways you can raise money to support migrants at risk. From organising comedy nights to climbing mountains, by fundraising you can help us keep fighting for migrants’ rights.
Already have an amazing fundraising idea?
Every £50 you fundraise could fund one hour of free legal advice for a migrant or refugee in crisis.
Get in touch to share your ideas or ask for more information. You can send us an email at fundraising@praxis.org.uk.
Looking for inspiration?
Take a look at some fundraisers from the Praxis community:
Supper Club
MamSham hosted an incredible supper club, bringing together a community of chefs and comedians for a night of fun! Tickets to the event raised over £6,000 for Praxis, with everyone having an amazing evening.
You could do the same, by cooking something you love, inviting your friends, and asking everyone to make a donation.
You could pick a theme, make it a regular get together or have it as a celebration of food and culture from around the world.
You can even choose a recipe from our cookbook, ‘Recipes of Life’, created by our men’s community group.
Karaokethon
Praxis community member Ivana organised a karaokethon, getting her friends and family to sing karaoke together for a whole day and raising over £4,000 for Praxis.
You could do the same and turn a night of karaoke into an exciting fundraising event.
Grab a microphone and pick all your favourite songs! Whether you’re asking people to sponsor per song or just donate to the event, this is a great way to get everyone involved.
Quiz Night
One of our community members, Daniel, raised funds for Praxis by organising a quiz night at his local pub.
Why not put your quizmaster skills to the test and host your own?
Whether you choose a themed quiz or stick to classic general knowledge questions, it's a fantastic way to bring people together for some friendly competition while supporting a great cause.
None of these taking your fancy? There are so many other ways you can fundraise, including:
Hosting a bake sale or coffee morning
Taking on a sporting challenge, whether it’s a sponsored cycle or walk, running 5K or even a marathon
Organise a community film night
Arranging a dress-down day at work
“I wanted to fundraise for Praxis, their work is so important for people in our communities who fall between the cracks of policy and support. It is incredibly fulfilling to be able to have fun singing for a day and raise money and awareness - though I couldn't speak for 2 days afterwards!”
- Ivana, organiser of Karaokethon for Praxis
Fundraise at work
Your company can choose us as their organisational charity and help us challenge the systems that marginalise migrants and refugees.
From sponsored challenges and team fundraising to matched giving and workplace events, there are lots of ways to get your colleagues involved.
Corporate fundraising is also a great opportunity to build workplace solidarity and get your organisation to be part of the change.
However you choose to fundraise, you’re helping us continue our work with migrants and refugees and fight for a society where everyone can live safely, free from discrimination and exclusion.
Together, we can build a fairer future.
