As a charity, we rely heavily on the support of individuals and businesses to help us raise not only funds, but also awareness of the challenges faced by those dealing with homelessness. To say that the last couple of years have been difficult would be somewhat of an understatement! But here at Simon on the Streets, we’ve never stopped looking for new and fun ways to keep those fundraising cogs turning.
And it’s your support that really does make all the difference. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to continue our outreach work, and help individuals break the cycle of homelessness.
As for how you can support us, there are so many ways you can get involved. Keep reading to find out more.
Take part in our fundraisers
When it comes to fundraisers, we’re constantly evolving. From our flagship event Simon’s Big Sleep Out, to other popular favourites such as Simon on the Tee, we try to make sure that there’s something for everyone throughout the year.
Our fundraisers are great for bringing people together, whether it’s your teams and colleagues, or your friends and family, and as part of this year’s Christmas fundraising, this year will see us host Simon’s Starlight Ball on Saturday 26th November. Taking place at the beautiful Queen’s Hotel in Leeds, it’s the perfect way to kick off the festive season. All funds raised go directly to supporting our work here at Simon on the Streets, and ticket prices include:
- A 3 course meal and prosecco on arrival
- A variety of musical entertainment including a Christmas choir
- A silent auction
There’s no better reason to get glam and have a good time! Book your tickets here, we’d love to see you there.
Have you got your own fundraising ideas?
If you have - fantastic! We’re always happy to hear from people who have decided to put on their own fundraising events, take on a challenge or come up with something a little different to raise funds for Simon on the Streets.
It doesn’t matter how big or how small your event is, every penny raised really helps to make a difference.
