Fundraise for Us


We rely on people from all walks of life to raise money for us. Without them, we wouldn't be able to fund our vital services and continue to care and support seafarers.
Fundraise for Us Giving up a little bit of your time to raise some money for Apostleship of the Sea can be really rewarding. You'll feel a real sense of pride for helping to improve the lives of seafarers, who work to bring you things you often take for granted. You'll meet new people. And you'll have plenty of opportunities to have some fun.

We've got loads of fundraising ideas for you and advice on how to bring in the money in the best way possible.

There are many ways in which you can help raise money for AoS and have fun in the process! You can choose to:

  • Run your own event,
  • Take part in sponsored events
  • Fundraise at work
  • Work with a group to fundraise
  • Fundraise at school/college

Buy Once Give Twice

 

BuyOnceGiveTwice is a charity auction site through which people can buy donated items with the money for the item going to a nominated charity. We often have items up for auction that have been kindly donated to us, and we will let you know when we have items for sale. Do visit our Buy Once Give Twice charity home page from time to time to check what is listed.

 

However we are also always looking for items to sell. So if you have an item, and experience, a valuable souvenier, that you are happy to donate to us to put up for auction, then please contact Sheila at the office on sheila@apostleshipofthesea.org.uk

Just Giving

 

When we run fundraising events, or have individuals doing fundraising for us, we use Just Giving for all our online sponsorship. Each person created their own fundraising page, and the website allows donors to donate money directly for that fundraising event. It is an efficient way to handle online sponsorship. We will let you know when we have events that are current.
