The minimum challenge is for each person to raise enough funds for at least ten blankets, which can support ten families, Alhamdulillah. If you can do more fundraising, or have bigger networks, then why not set yourself higher targets.There are plenty of ways to fundraise that make it easy, and you can see some of our ideas below: 

GET SET UP: You can give towards this appeal by donating through the appeal or by setting up your own fundraising page through JustGiving. Once set up, you can share this link with your networks.

SOCIAL NETWORKS: Take advantage of all those Whatsapp groups you are in and share the donation page, or your JustGiving link, with others. You can also post on Facebook, share live stories through Instagram and Snapchat and get your family and friends to share your link as well.

ORGANISE AN EVENT: Why not organise your own fundraising activities within your community, workplace, school or madrasah – here are some of our favourite ideas below:

- Have a ‘Come dine with me’ themed night with your friends

- Organise collections – remember to seek permission first

- Sell unwanted items at a Car Boot Sale

- Sponsored walks or runs- 

- Organise a football tournament, or different sport

Of course, there are so many ways to support this appeal, and your determination will surely help those families who are struggling this winter.

YOUR AID IN ACTION: The blankets will be distributed to families living in rural areas in India and northern Pakistan, along with those internally displaced widows and orphans in Syria and Iraq, who don’t have the protection of a blanket to keep them warm.
