A sponsored event

ROPE supporters have done many different things to raise money for ROPE

ROPE has created template grid sponsorship forms and individual sponsorship forms which you can download and copy to collect sponsors - don't forget to ask people to Gift Aid their donations as this will further increase the funds you raise.

You can also download the ACTION FORM to distribute at your event and raise awareness of ROPE.

If you would like to raise funds online, ROPE recommends Just Giving, an online service that manages all aspects of your fundraising.

Birthday or anniversary parties

Why not celebrate a special event by asking your friends and family to make give a gift to ROPE in lieu of a personal present. A recent 80th birthday celebration raised enough to provide a well for a village in Tanzania whilst a 40th wedding anniversary helped free several women in DR Congo from a life of prostitution. Please contact the ROPE office for suitable projects or people to support.

Change collection boxes

The pennies soon make a pound when you put them into one of our special collecting boxes. You will get to be good in origami as you assemble it!

Resources

To assist with any fundraising activities we can provide the following resources

Stamps

You can raise money for ROPE just by collecting all your used stamps! All you need to do is leave approximately 1/4 inch around each stamp, pop them in an envelope and send them to:

ROPE stamps
PO Box 6198
Leighton Buzzard
Beds
LU7 9XT

If possible, keep foreign stamps separate from the UK stamps as you can raise more money for them, just pop them in a separate envelope and clearly mark it as foreign stamps and send it to the above address.

e-bay / Missionfish

ROPE is now registered with Missionfish (ID 35998), ebay's charity partner so you can now donate 10% -100% of what you sell on e-bay to ROPE. You can also view our page on Missionfish to bid for those items which are listed to benefit ROPE. You can even earn fee credits whenever you sell an item on behalf of ROPE. View our charity page for more details and current listings.

Used toner/ ink cartridges and old mobile phones

Simple as that. Send your used toner and ink cartridges and unwanted mobile phones to the ROPE office and we can get them recycled, raising money for ROPE and helping the environment too as they won't be put in a landfill.
