Become a Fundraising Champion
Join our amazing team of Fundraising Champions to help people struggling with grief.
Our Fundraising Champions raise vital awareness and funds within their local communities, helping us continue to care for more people struggling with grief.
Our Fundraising Champions support in so many meaningful ways, from organising and delivering local fundraising events, speaking about our work in their local communities, and distributing and managing collection boxes.
Every conversation and every fundraising event they deliver helps us become one step closer to our goal that no one should face grief alone.
It's given me confidence, and something to focus on after teaching. if lot's of people do little things, it adds up.
There are many different ways to get involved as a Fundraising Champion, depending on your interests, confidence, local connections and the time you have available. Below are just a few examples of the ways our Fundraising Champions support Cruse.
