Fundraising for Samaritans in Leicester

All our services are provided by unpaid volunteers but we still need to raise about £66,000 every year. Could you help?

There are so many ways you can help fundraise for Leicester Samaritans. Any help you can give means we can maintain our 24/7 service to people in need.

Here are some fundraising examples.

  • volunteer your time at the charity shop on Granby Street
  • shop online via https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/samaritansleicester/ - there are over 2,700 retailers to choose from including eBay, Amazon, M&S & John Lewis
  • Take part in our annual Samarathon
  • Hold a cake and coffee morning or an afternoon tea.
  • Host a curry night at a local restaurant
  • Donate your 2nd hand goods to our charity shop on Granby Street (if you are a UK taxpayer we can claim Gift Aid on donation sales - this will not cost you a penny)
  • Get you local pub or shop to "adopt a charity tin" and swap it over every few weeks
  • Walk, run, swim, cycle or skydive as a personal challenge. Please contact us for sponsorship forms.
  • Help out at our September Beer Festival in Oadby
  • Deliver posters and flyers to shops, pubs and other public areas
  • Have a plant or craft sale
  • Hold a raffle and sell tickets
  • Organise a quiz night
  • Have a dress down day at your work or school
  • Asking for donations is a great alternative to gifts, no matter the occasion.
  • Consider buying some supplies for our branch. Here is a link to our suggested shopping list on Amazon for the type of item regularly used. Check out my list on Amazon
