Creating Sustainable Employment

Fundraising

Like all charities fundraising is a most important aspect of our operation because without cash we would be unable to do any work to improve life in Mikindani.

We feel it is very important to spend as little as possible on our administration and we are very lucky to receive the generous support of Corintech.

Larasian, the Holding Company for Corintech allows Trade Aid to use its office and meeting space and provides us with all of our stationary, telephone calls, postage, petrol etc .

We also benefit from the generous support of the public houses in and around Fordingbridge who host and support our fundraising events.

Corporate Fundraising

We have been very fortunate and have received several large donations from a number of Charitable Trusts and Companies.
Most recently we received significant donations from the Sylvia Adams Trust and Aviva, for which we are very grateful.

Events Fundraising

‘We are very active with our fundraising and we organise many events which provide a large part of our funding.’

Some of the events are relatively low key but we also organise some larger events like our annual Jazz on the Lawn and New Forest Charity Challenge which are great fun as well as raising lots of cash.

Find out What’s On

We go to the organisation's meetings or assemblies to talk about our work and how the money is spent.

We approach grant making organisations and trusts for specific fundraising.

We encourage individual support.
Please visit our ‘Become a Friend’ page to see some of the other ways in which we raise our money.

If you are thinking about taking on a challenge, we would love to be your chosen charity.

Perhaps you belong to a club or are involved with a school, college or university that participates in fundraising activities - Trade Aid is an excellent charity for which to raise money. As a small charity even relatively small amounts of cash make a huge difference.

If you would like to help, or if you have any bright ideas then please contact us.
