Fundraising
Thank you! We know there are many good causes out there so thank you for considering supporting us.
Why support us?
We are the only charity operating in Hampshire that supports children and young people who have been bereaved. Like most charities we get no government funding so most of our costs are met with fundraising and donations from kind people and organisations like you.
Why not fundraise by putting on an event?
Simon Says depends on the generous donations received from companies, schools, community groups and individuals. Without your help, Simon Says would not be able to provide the support needed by bereaved children and their families in Hampshire.
If you would like to organise a fundraising event please download our Fundraising Pack or contact us on info@simonsays.org.uk
There are lots of ways to get involved and raise money – one of the most important things to remember is that it should be fun – there are lots of ideas in the fundraising pack.
If you can collect sponsorship online, please set up a page on ‘Just Giving’ by clicking the button below and then:
- 1Click on ‘Start Fundraising’ and then when it asks: ‘What are you raising money for?’ click on ‘A Charity’.
- 2You’ll then need to log in (or create a new account).
- 3Then ‘Search for the cause you want to support’ and find Simon Says (easily identified by our logo)
- 4Follow the instructions.
Whether you raise £10 or £1,000, every penny helps us to make a difference – thank you!
PS! Please tell us a little about your fundraising plans at info@simonsays.org.uk so we can then promote your event on social media and also thank you for your efforts.
