A New Look to Fundraising...

Welcome to the Fundraising section!

Fundraising is vital to our work because we rely on donations, legacies and non-statutory income to allow us to run our care and support services across Scotland.

There are various ways to give to CrossReach:

Fundraising for CrossReach - Fundraising is fun.  It can be anything from a book sale to a full-blown gala day...just use your imagination and we will help to provide the rest! We are keen to hear of your fundraising efforts and events.  You can get involved on your own, with friends or with a local group.  We have local fundraising groups 'springing up' all over Scotland and can put you in touch with others in your area to give you support.  email our Community Fundraisers scott.hamilton@crossreach.org.uk (West of Scotland) or norman.chipakupaku@crossreach.org.uk (East of Scotland).

Donating money - Your donations really do make a huge difference to people's lives.  Please send donations to Charis House, 47 Milton Road East, Edinburgh EH15 2SR.  Cheques should be made payable to CrossReach. You can donate online by clicking on the 'donate' link at the top of the page.
