Summer of Hope
This summer, turn your fundraising event into an action of hope.
By raising money for CAFOD, you will help to ensure clean water and food reaches some of the poorest families in the world during this global emergency.
Organise a summer fundraising event
What can I do for the Summer of Hope?
Recreate at home the events you will miss this summer, and have fun transforming them into a sign of hope while raising money for CAFOD’s Coronavirus Appeal.
- School sports day cancelled? Hold one in your back garden!
- Be sponsored to do your daily walk with an egg and spoon!
- Summer fair postponed? Play ‘guess the sweets in the jar’ or ‘treasure hunt’ online!
- Missing out on a summer BBQ? Get together on Zoom and charge for cooking tips!
- Missing the Olympics? Walk, cycle, jump, run an Olympic distance and be sponsored.
- Not able to go camping with friends? Donate what you would have paid to travel to the campsite.
