Faith-based fundraising
How can faith groups support us?
Faith groups of all denominations fundraise for us throughout the year, helping people experiencing homelessness, poverty and ill health across Kent.
Together, we are restoring a sense of place, belonging and hope in people’s lives.
We would love to partner with you to grow our network of community ambassadors and fund vital support for some of society’s most vulnerable people.
Sponsored sleep out: One night spent out in the elements, either in tents or cardboard shelters. This is a popular activity for youth groups. It’s a small glimpse of the harsh reality faced by many of the people we support. Find out more about our sleep outs.
One week without: Can you spend a whole week without your mobile phone? Or maybe sleep on the floor of your bedroom instead of your bed? This activity is fun for individuals and groups to experience life without something essential, and is a great way to raise money and awareness.
Bake sale: Who doesn’t love cake? Even better when it raises money for Porchlight’s vital services! This is a classic fundraising activity that is popular with all ages and makes a real difference. Maybe go one step further and make it a “bake-off”.
Gala dinner: We would love to have one of our lived-experience volunteers visit your gala dinner and share about the challenges they faced - and overcame, thanks to the support of people like you. Many prophets did much of their teaching over a meal. It’s a popular event that brings people together for a great cause.
Pennies for Porchlight: Ideal for children’s groups: start collecting spare change over a period of one month and see how much money you raise! Start rummaging in your sofas, pockets and wallets. Small change for bigger changes.
Sponsored walk: Many of the people we support spent their nights walking the streets to keep warm. Doing a sponsored walk is a great way to get some exercise while raising valuable funds for Porchlight. We can give you case studies to read and reflect on while you walk, and suggest routes.
You are also welcome to organise your own fundraising event - let us know what you are planning and we will support you every step of the way.
