Fundraising

Every year our supporters come up with fun and ingenious ways to fundraise for the Linda Norgrove Foundation.  There are lots of different ways you can raise money for the Foundation, whether it’s holding a quiz night, organising a bring-and-buy sale, taking part in a challenge event, or encouraging others to sponsor you to try something new.

We suggest you keep it simple and choose something you’ll enjoy!

You can set up a fundraising page on Crowdfunder or GoFundMe. We can also send you copies of our newsletter and sponsorship forms if this would be helpful.

Let us know about your event and we will publicise it on our website and our Facebook page – send us details by using our contact form.
