Fundraising

If you’re thinking about fundraising for Mercy Ships, or you already are, why not join with others to raise money in your local community through:

• Churches
• Schools
• Businesses
• Arts, sports and community groups
• Retailers and service providers

To organise:

• Speaking engagements through our Speakers Network
• Events supported by Community Fundraising (we can provide an A-Z of suggestions)
• Street collections, and management of placements of static collection boxes
• Placement of literature at appropriate information points e.g. at doctors’ and dental surgeries, opticians, theatres and business links

Mercy Ships Community Fundraising can help your local efforts through:

• Our Speakers Network
• Information on our work including videos, DVD’s, posters and leaflets
• Information on fundraising activities and resources
• Materials for schools and churches
• An attractive range of gift products for sale

Publicity
Publicising an event is a great way to boost our profile and raise awareness of our life-changing work. If you are thinking of hosting an event in your local community then please let us know and also inform the local media. We can help publicise your work using our resources, and articles can even be put on our website!
