CAFOD is the official Catholic aid agency for England and Wales

Raise money

Your fundraising is vital to our work, so why not do something different and fundraise for CAFOD?

With your parish, with your friends, at work, as a family, or as an individual - however you choose to raise money, 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. But during Lent you could think about getting sponsored to give up your treats, or give up your time to train for 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.


Fundraising resources

Give it up! for water this Lent

Every 20 seconds a child dies because of dirty water. 884 million people don’t have access to clean water and safe sanitation.

And don’t forget, every £1 given to our Lent appeal the Government will match – doubling your donation and changing even more lives.
