Fundraise Your Way
Your fundraising donations will help to provide accommodation for a young person without a safe place to stay, food parcels for families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis, a warm and welcoming place for someone to go who is isolated or vulnerable, or a place to live for a young mum.
Family, community or on your own...
The difference your donations make

Absolutely! You can raise funds for appeals like Let us Play simply by stating your intention on your fundraising page or by informing us when paying in your donations.
If you would like to raise funds for a specific YMCA project or service other than an active appeal, this may also be possible but please get in contact with us first. This is so we can ensure your funds won’t duplicate existing funding.
100% of the funds we receive will go towards our community services for children, young people, families and communities across Hampshire and Isle of Wight, and are allocated to YMCA FG activities where funds are most needed.
Depending on how you choose to give, some small deductions may be made to donations by third party providers to cover the cost of their platforms and/or card processing fees. You can find out more through checking with each provider’s T&Cs.
In theory, the only limit is your own imagination!
Be aware though that for some activities such as raffles, lotteries and bucket collections may have certain restrictions and require licenses. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
