Raise money
With your parish, with your friends, at work, as a family, or as an individual - however you choose to fundraise for CAFOD, you can have fun supporting our work - and we have loads of fantastic schemes in place to get you started.
Any social occasion such as a coffee morning or a book club meeting makes a great fundraiser. Or how about transforming a hobby into something more meaningful, such as a sponsored swim or a fun run?
There are loads of creative and fun ways you can help support those in poverty - support one of our special schemes below or use one of our fundraising ideas
