Fundraising
We are very blessed to have had so much support since the charity was founded in 2012 but it’s essential that we keep the momentum going as there are so many children and families that need our help. And the more we raise, the more we can renovate our facilities and the bigger impact we can have on families in need.
We welcome all (legal and ethical) fundraising and challenges but sometimes we don’t always know what people are doing for Reuben’s Retreat until after the event or activity. If you’re undertaking a challenge, organising a fundraiser or are raising awareness for our cause we’d love to hear from you!
Please call us on 01457 680023 or email enquiries@reubensretreat.org and let us know what you are planning and we’ll provide all the support we can. Please also visit our Resources page for a copy of our Fundraising Kit Bag.
For large events we can offer bespoke marketing support so please do get in touch for more information.

You can set up an online fundraising account quickly and easily – this means your supporters, friends and family can give to your fundraising page electronically and also gift aid their donation with just a few clicks.

Some companies offer match funding for their employees fundraising activities so we’d encourage you to look into this as it could make a huge difference to your efforts. Here is a list of companies that offer match funding (as at 2017).
