There are so many ways that you could raise money to support Christian Aid. You may already have your own ideas, but listed below are a few thoughts:

Hold a coffee morning or summer bbq, sell cakes or crafts at work, go on a sponsored walk, throw a dinner party, hold a benefit concert, organise a raffle, run a marathon!

Our new Fundraising toolkit, available to download on the Christian Aid website, has everything you need to organise and promote fundraising events and sponsored activities during Christian Aid Week and beyond.

The toolkit gives you practical tips and financial information, templates and ideas, as well as the new logo.

Christian Aid Connect is a free an easy way to advertise your event to a network of Christian Aid supporters. Simply cick on 'login' to create an account. Once you've created an account you can add your own events and define them by regions.

Don't forget, you can also tell us how your event went and provide suggestions for others by adding a 'story' to the site.

Enjoy!
