We tackle complex challenges like poverty and exclusion across England by mobilising people, churches, and whole communities to make a positive difference. You can be part of this by fundraising for Church Urban Fund and encouraging family and friends to join in too.
There are lots of ways for you, your church or group to get involved. If you’d like to fundraise for us then we’d love to hear from you. Contact kelly.jones@cuf.org.uk, who can also help with your just giving page, and can provide ideas and resources. We want to put the fun in fundraising!
Set up a Just Giving page
Creating a fundraising page on Just Giving will make it easy for your friends and family to sponsor your fundraiser online.
The fundraising challenges you set can be large or small, every action makes a difference! And these challenges that have helped CUF raise over £480,000 since 2014 helping communities across the country.
You could organise a Prayer or Mindful Walk, hold a sleepout challenge, hold a bake sale for your neighbours, take on a sporting or physical challenge, or start a fundraising group at church.
However you choose to fundraise, it’s an exciting opportunity to take action and help make your local community a better place for all.
And if you can't fundraise for CUF this year you can still donate to the Just Giving page and support us this advent.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
Thessalonians 5:11
The Royston Rough Sleepers have been holding an annual sleepout and raising funds for CUF for 8 years. One of the groups members Sophia explained why they don't use tents “We wanted to stay authentic to the experience of those who don’t get a choice, and aren’t just doing it for one night. For the first few years we slept under our tarpaulins around the church. Now we’re in the churchyard, as the bushes and trees afford some protection from the wind"
