Fundraise

If none of these are possible, then there’s still loads you can do to lend support to our cause.

  • Follow us on Twitter or Facebook, and help us get our messages to a wider audience.
  • Read our website, and find out more about the reality of seeking refuge in Leeds.
  • Use the information you find to challenge some of the myths about migration.
  • Be kind to strangers, and give people the time of day.

We think all of this helps to make Leeds a kinder, safer, more welcoming place – and we’re grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you.

Fundraise

We would love you to do some fundraising for LASSN – anything from a few pounds to a few hundred pounds – no matter how small the donation, your fundraising would mean a great deal to us.

There are lots of ways you can fundraise – you may want to sell tickets for an event, have bucket collections, have a bun sale at work or set up a fundraising page for a sponsorship challenge. You can set up a page on Virgin Money Giving and share it on Facebook and social media.
