FUNDRAISE
If you have done any fundraising for Samara's Aid Appeal, we would love to see your pictures.
If you would like to help raise money to support the new hospital we are opening with our partners in Syria, perhaps you would consider hosting a dinner or themed evening in which you can invite friends and talk about the medical challenges in Syria. If each or some guests were willing to commit to a monthly standing order of £10, it wouldn’t take long to reach £50 or £100 per month in standing orders from one evening. The giving forms can be found on the GIVING page.
Here are some links to fundraising resources that you can download and use to help you raise money to support our work, in particular our hospitals in Syria:
You can set up your own fundraising pages to raise money for the event you are planning, using the online giving platform we use. All payments made through this method will come directly to us; gift aid can be applied to eligible donations.
