What Can I Do To Help

There’s no limit on what you can do – set your creative side free.

 
Everything from organising a coffee morning to climbing Mount Everest, if it’s something you’re passionate about its more likely you will see it through.
 
Think of us if you have decided to run the London Marathon, swim the Channel or are
considering a change of hairstyle with a head shave.
 
You could also put one of our collecting tins on the pub bar or the counter of your shop and
encourage your customers to donate all those annoying coppers.  Every penny counts!
 
For information and advice please contact Peter Forster Fundraising Office Manager on 0161 443 2200 or email peter.forster@francishouse.org.uk
 

Fundraising Stories

People do many different things to help raise money for Francis House. Whether its five pounds or five hundred it’s all welcome and all goes towards providing the same care and attention our children and families deserve.

As a caring organisation we are always touched and amazed at the lengths some people go to in challenging themselves to raise a certain amount or by testing themselves to the limit.

We often hear the story of a fundraising effort which has kept people going where they would have normally given up. The thing which drives people on is the thought of what they are doing it all for and the people they would be letting down if they stopped. It takes a lot to come out and say “I’m doing this for charity” as you are announcing to the public that you are going to complete the task.

On the other hand, the charity aspect of the challenge is the thing which motivates people to get out there and do something. How would people complete a marathon, or climb a mountain without something to keep them going?

Here’s the story of one man who after missing out on being part of the London Marathon decided to forget the idea of 26 miles in favour of a cycle ride the length of Britain. What’s an extra 900+ miles between friends?
