50 ways to Fundraise for CARI
We’d love any help you can give us to raise the funds we need to maintain and extend our services. And we will gladly appreciate whatever help you are able to offer. That can be anything from a half hour for a €50 whip-round or getting together with friends to organise a bigger fundraiser.
