Fundraising

Together, we can change young lives. As a small charity, we rely on support from individuals, businesses, church and community groups to help us raise vital funds to make a difference to the lives of children in UK and Romania. We would love you to partner with us and fundraise on our behalf. Could you run a new fundraising event or challenge or consider nominating our charity for an event you already organise? Fundraising is a great way to come together to support a cause you're passionate about whilst meeting new people and getting together as a community.

How your fundraising makes an impact

Your fundraising will help enhance the lives of children with severe disabilities and complex needs at Casa Maria in Romania and through the projects we run in the UK.

These are some of the ways in which your kind support will help:

  • £100 pays for a child to visit the doctor each month and for specialist care to meet their unique needs.

  • £150 provides a child with two months of activities to boost their health and wellbeing.

  • £300 provides a child with a month of healthy and nutritious meals.

You can also support us with a one-off or recurring donation.
