Virtual Fundraising

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, we were forced to think creatively in lots of ways. Although we are no longer in lockdown, virtual fundraising remains a fun way to raise money to support CHUMS Charity. If you are interested in fundraising for us, we have come up with a list of different virtual activities that you can do to help raise money.

We’d love to hear any ideas you may have! Please do share them with us either on our Social Media pages (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) or by emailing the team on rianna.steers@chumscharity.org
