Fundraising – our Lifeblood
Fundraising Is Vital
As a charity, Kids in Kailahun depends on the generous donations made by individuals and organisations. Fundraising is one way that everyone can get involved to help KIK support the people of Kailahun.
As time goes by, the KIK team organises various fundraising events such as charity auctions, Indian meals, ceilidhs, etc. Any current KIK events are shown on our News and/or Facebook pages. But please don’t wait for KIK to organise something, as there are lots of interesting and enjoyable ways for you to raise money for the KIK cause, through friends, family, church, social groups, or your workplace – see here for a printable list of suggestions, or scroll down to view.
wonderful.org is useful
Fundraising can be lots of fun and extremely rewarding, so why not get involved today and make a difference?
If you do decide to fundraise for KIK, then please contact us to let us know what you are doing.
