1. Cook up a competition

Have a ‘ready steady cook’ style competition and see who can make the best meal from a basic food shop. Charge each entrant.

2. Go without

Go without something (e.g. chocolate, coffee, meals out) for a month and donate what you save.

3. Get sporty

Complete a sponsored walk, run, swim, toddle, skip, dance, cycle - or another activity of your choice! Email us on [email protected] and we’ll help you get set up with everything you need.

4. Make Boaz your charity of the year

Chat to your employer, church or school and ask if they can lend their support.

5. Use Thrift+

Donate your pre-loved clothes to Thrift+ and use the points you accumulate to donate to Boaz.

6. Team up

Get your friends, family, colleagues, kids, classmates or youth group involved and organise an event together. How about a bake sale, pub quiz, car wash, jumble sale, or bag packing in your local supermarket?

7. Take on a Lent challenge

Commit to a daily challenge throughout Lent. This could be anything from crocheting a square each day to running a daily 3k! Ask people to sponsor your efforts.

8. Ask for alternative gifts

Instead of gifts (for a birthday, Christmas or a wedding) ask people to donate to Boaz instead. Set up a Facebook fundraiser or direct friends/family to give here.


Ending destitution and homelessness among people seeking sanctuary is a team effort, and we can’t do it without you! Taking on a fundraising challenge for Boaz is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with the people we work with. Take the step and commit to a fundraising challenge with us in 2025.
