Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Fortalice
Your donations will make a huge difference to the lives of adults and children who have experienced domestic abuse. For some, your support will literally be life-saving. Income raised through fundraising helps us to offer refuge accommodation, safety advice and support for those fleeing abusive situations, help to rebuild lives, and education programmes for young people in schools. There are lots of fun, interesting and rewarding ways to get involved and raise funds to support our work. However you choose to get involved, please share your stories on social media to help us raise awareness. If you’d like to discuss your fundraising idea with our team, you can contact us here.

Here are some Fundraising Ideas to get you started…
Collection Tins
Could your Bolton shop, pub or café help raise funds by having a collection tin in your premises? At home you could use it to save your loose change, or give it a good shake at a fundraising event! Contact us to request one. Please note, you may need a licence to collect funds in a public place or door to door. Always check with your local authority first.

Time for an active challenge?
If you have a little more time to spare and enjoy being physically active, why not join a local, national, or even international challenge or running event and ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. Jump out of a plane, tackle the marathon or a mountain trek!
You can set up an online fundraising page at www.justgiving.com or www.virginmoneygiving.com. All the money you raise will come directly to Fortalice so you don’t have to worry about collecting from people. Don’t forget to ask UK taxpayers to add gift aid to their sponsorship so we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 raised.
We also have printed sponsorship forms should you need one.
Fancy a personal challenge?
Be inspirational in setting yourself a personal challenge with a goal to achieve. Impress your friends and family whilst raising much needed sponsorship for us. You can create an online fundraising page via www.justgiving.com where you will be able to directly share your link with friends, family and colleagues. All of your sponsorship raised will come straight to us, and don’t forget to add gift aid! Here are a few ideas to inspire you:
- Brave the shave
- Go Sober for a month
- Lbs for £’s – Weight loss challenge
