of Luton, South Bedfordshire & Harpenden

Fundraising

It costs Luton Branch over £2000 per month to run smoothly and because we are almost entirely dependant on voluntary support we don’t just sit and wait for funds to come our way!

Some of the activities Samaritans Fundraisers get involved in are:-

Collections

Throughout the year we organise collections outside supermarkets and in town centres. If you see us please come and say hello. We collect house to house every year in Harpenden and get a very good response from householders.

Please give us a smile and make time for a quick chat.

Cartridges & old mobile phones

By re-cycling printer cartridges & old mobiles we can make a small but worthwhile contribution to our funds. So if you or your office have old inkjet cartridges you can offer us, please drop them in to our centre, just pop them in the letterbox if there is no reply at the door.

Stamps

We also collect used stamps as a way of raising funds. No need to steam them off, just cut round them and pop them through our letterbox at 33 Cardiff Road, Luton.

Quiz Nights

We have a yearly quiz night that is very popular – a chance for everyone to enjoy themselves while raising funds for the branch. Check out our ‘Calendar of Events’ page, and email us on luton.publicity@samaritanseast.org.uk for more details of any events coming up. We hold regular Coffee Mornings in Dunstable Methodist Church – See calendar for dates.

How about organising your own fundraising event on behalf of Samaritans? Could your school or company think about supporting Luton Samaritans as their charity for the year?

If you can help in any way, perhaps by becoming a Samaritans Fundraiser, please contact us on 01582 720666

Sponsored Activities

Every year we benefit from our brave volunteers who take part in our ‘National Walk’. Luton are hosting the National Walk this year. Please refer to this webpage for future sponsorship and fundraising opportunities.

Next year we hope very much to have a runner in both the London and New York Marathons.
