FAQs

I’m ready to start fundraising! Where do I begin?

As well as the current opportunities at the top of this page, you’ll find more ideas and supporter stories here. Feel free to get creative! 
2. Set up your sponsorship page. 
It’s quick and easy to collect donations through JustGiving. Visit www.justgiving.com/christiansolidarity and click ‘Fundraise for us’.

3. Spread the word! 
Remember to give your friends, family and co-workers plenty of notice so that they can save the date and consider how much they want to donate in sponsorship.
How can I spread the word?
A great place to start is with your church or community group. Tell them why you care about freedom of religion or belief for all and invite them to get involved by praying or sponsoring you. You could set up an email list, a WhatsApp group, or use social media to quickly share prayer requests and progress.

We’d love to hear about your fundraising journey, too! Please send any photos to our Fundraising Team at admin@csw.org.uk or tag us on Twitter and Instagram @CSW_UK
