Fundraising

By holding a fundraising event, however big or small, you could raise money to support the work of the SVP as well as raising the profile of the Society.

You might think that a couple of pounds won’t make a difference. You might think that £1 buys nothing. But: there are around 10,000 members of the SVP. If every member raised just £1 from an event such as a coffee morning or a cake sale then £10,000 would be raised. This could, for example:

  • Buy a van which could be used to deliver free furniture to those in need
  • Buy over thirty new computers which could be used to train people and help them into employment
  • Pay the salary of a part time project work supporting homeless people in a city centre

Fundraising can be fun and it is a way of bringing members of the community together. If you would like to talk to someone about organising an event please phone National Office on 020 74074644.

Fundraise for us using Virgin Money Giving

Some of the fundraising initiatives from our members:

The Do it for Charity Santa runs hit the parks again this year. SVP
members, friends, family and supporters united to raise funds
for the SVP and start Christmas off with a Santa dressed cheer!
In London, 29 SVP members and friends pulled on their white
beards and ran, jogged (or walked!) the challenging 5k or 10
k course in Greenwich park. Everyone who took part received a
Santa costume and an SVP goody bag (thanks to the generosity
of 4imprint). Click here for details.
Angela Gregson (Manchester CC President) being presented with the cheque for Sudan by children from St Veronica's Primary School, Helmshore, Rossendale

The children of St Veronica's Primary School, Helmshore, Rossendale raised £800 during Lent, having adopted the SVP as their Charity for this year, by each class doing different things. There are only 148 children at the school, so this was a marvellous effort and a big thank you goes to everyone involved!
Children from St Matthew's RC High School present the cheque to Roy Boardman

St Matthew's RC High School in Manchester raised a fantastic £770 through fundraising activities. The cheque was presented by school children to the SVP Christ the King Conference representative, Roy Boardman, in a ceremony in February.

Thank you to Phil Anderson who took a leap of faith on 3rd September, to raise money for the SVP.
