Parish Fundraising Group

SCIAF Fundraising Groups play an important role in SCIAF’s work and are key to ensuring we can make a difference for our sisters and brothers living in the world’s poorest places.  

Our groups act as ambassadors, helping to spread the word about the work of SCIAF and encouraging and supporting local people, clubs and organisations to fundraise for us too. They also play an important role by taking part in all our national fundraising appeals such as the WEE BOX Lenten appeal, Real Gifts and other annual collections.  

As part of a fundraising group you could be:  

• Planning and organising fundraising events around the year, such as quizzes, ceilidhs and bingo nights, or selling Real Gifts. 
• Meeting regularly to discuss and organise activities.  
• Developing relationships and representing SCIAF in your local community, including attending events. 
• Working alongside a Community Engagement Officer to identify opportunities and report back on activities.  

Volunteering can allow you to use your skills, knowledge and life experience to help benefit others. You will receive support and friendship from other group members and SCIAF will ensure that you receive skills and training that you can use on your CV, if this is helpful.
