How do we fundraise?

Every year we collect money on street and supermarket  collections - children watch and wait to see Santa!

We run a large secondhand bookshop and raise considerable sums for local charities - we are looking for volunteers to help! Find out more about our bookshop including how to find us and opening hours

Exercising in lock-down - see our fundraising virtual challenge - keep fit and fundraise for local charities

We support St Francis Hospice, Rennie Grove and Keech hospices locally in many ways.  For example we join with others to collect old Xmas Trees from the public to raise funds. At Xmas 2020 1348 trees were colleted and £25,506 raised for the hospice

Steve is hoping to run the London Marathon - learn more about his challenge to raise money for a local charity

Especially during Covid we have made donations to local food banks

Every year we help at the St Albans Beer Festival - for which we get a donation which is given to charity.

Hands at Work (St Albans Group) raise money & support communities in Africa. We supported them recently by helping at a recent event to raise money for a water borehole in Zambia.  

We funded the buying of a bus which was converted to a cafe.  This was used for pupils to socialise and learn about the working world..

Join us regularly or on an ad-hoc basis when you can 

Every year we run an Easter Egg Raffle in local pubs and venues which raises funds for a local children's charity

Every year we support the Cathedral Fireworks at Verulamium by running the Fighting Cocks Gate.  This event raises considerable sums for local charities.
