Whilst it may still seem a little early to talk about Christmas, some of our supporters are already letting us know of their inspirational fundraising ideas, which will have a positive impact on those we support, as well as engaging with their own community.
Corsham based, Clear Vision Accountancy Limited, have decided to donate to Julian House what they would have spent on gifts to their clients.
“We wanted to give something back and at Christmas we thought it would be fitting to choose a charity that supports so many vulnerable and at-risk individuals in the local community. Julian House immediately came to mind.”
Fundraising during the lead up to Christmas can also bring people together. Whether it’s family and friends, colleagues at work, a school, or a community group, raising funds for good causes like Julian House can help spread cheer, whilst thinking about the community around them.
