Welfare Trust
Welfare Trust
Fundraising is one of the most powerful ways to multiply your impact. A sponsored walk, family dinner, football tournament, bake sale, workplace challenge or community event can bring people together while raising vital funds for those who need support.
When you fundraise for Hayaat Welfare Trust, you are not doing it alone. Tell us what you have in mind and we can help you shape your idea, choose an appropriate cause and make sure you have the information you need to get started.
Start with an idea. We will help you turn it into a plan.
A fundraiser does more than collect donations. It starts conversations, introduces new people to a cause and gives friends, families, schools, workplaces and communities a practical way to help together.
Choose a live Hayaat appeal or discuss a suitable project with us.
Create something that suits your time, skills, community and fundraising target.
Receive clear information about the cause so you can explain it confidently to supporters.
Share your achievement with us so we can celebrate the people who made it possible.
Help build a community of supporters who care about practical, dignified charitable work.
Complete financial audit transparency ensuring donations reach those in need.
Whatever your interests, skills, or available time, there is a fun and meaningful way for you to make a real difference.
Walk, run, cycle, hike or create your own distance challenge. Set a target, invite friends to join and ask your network to sponsor your effort.
Organise a dinner, coffee morning, community breakfast, family fun day, quiz, sports day or small ticketed event.
Create a dress-down day, team challenge, sponsored activity, matched-giving campaign or workplace collection with your employer’s permission.
Run an age-appropriate sponsored challenge, non-uniform day, craft sale or educational fundraiser with the organisation’s approval and safeguarding arrangements.
Offer a class, workshop, car wash, bake sale, photography session or other activity and donate the proceeds.
Invite charitable donations for a birthday, wedding, anniversary or personal milestone instead of gifts.
Authentic moments from community walks, youth football, family bake sales, charity dinners, and volunteer teams across the UK.
Follow these six practical steps to take your fundraising idea from concept to completion safely and successfully.
Browse our current appeals and decide what you want your fundraising to support. If you are unsure, contact us and we can explain the projects currently accepting funds.
Send us the basics: what you want to do, where, when, your expected audience and your fundraising target.
Think about venue permission, costs, insurance, food safety, safeguarding, licences and cash handling where relevant. We can provide charity information, but the organiser remains responsible for making sure their activity is lawful and safe.
Create your fundraising page or agreed donation route, then share your story. Explain what you are doing, why the cause matters and what you hope to raise.
Post updates, thank supporters, share progress towards your target and remind people of the event date.
After the fundraiser, transfer any offline funds promptly using the agreed method and tell us your final total. We can then record the fundraiser and, where appropriate, share a thank-you or impact update.
Every contribution makes an enormous difference. Here are examples of achievable fundraising targets and suitable activities.
Office collection, bake sale, family challenge or small sponsored activity.
Team walk, community food sale, sports challenge or birthday fundraiser.
Football tournament, larger sponsored challenge, workplace campaign or community event.
Dinner, group challenge, business campaign or coordinated community fundraiser.
Businesses, mosques, community groups and professional networks can make a significant difference by bringing their people together around a shared cause. This could include staff fundraising, a sponsored event, payroll giving, matched funding, a corporate donation or support for a specific approved project.
We want fundraising for Hayaat Welfare Trust to be positive, transparent and safe. Please contact us before representing an event as an official Hayaat event or using our logo on printed or digital material.
Be clear that you are fundraising ‘in aid of Hayaat Welfare Trust’ unless the event is being directly organised by the charity.
Do not make promises about beneficiaries, project completion dates or exact outcomes unless Hayaat has confirmed them.
Keep cash secure, count it carefully and transfer it promptly. Avoid holding large sums of charity money unnecessarily.
For raffles, lotteries, public collections, street fundraising or events involving alcohol, food, children or high-risk activities, check the relevant legal and venue requirements before proceeding.
Protect personal information. Do not publish donor details or beneficiary information without the appropriate permission.
Use respectful images and language. Fundraising should explain need without humiliating or exploiting the people a project is intended to help.
Create a downloadable toolkit section containing practical materials supporters can use. This also reduces repeated questions to the charity team.
