World AIDS Day 2011
Sahir House would like to thank EVERYONE who has contributed to this year's World AIDS Day campaign. We have given out 1000's of red ribbons all over Merseyside, sent out over 100 World AIDS Day packs requested by individuals / organisations / businesses to use to raise awareness. Our dedicated team of volunteers also carried out many fundraising collections in theatres, pubs, local train stations and as well as raising money gave out 1000's of red ribbons, we hope you were wearing yours!
If you live in Liverpool you may of noticed the red ribbon being illuminated on Liverpool University's Active Learning Laboratory on Brownlow Hill in the week leading up to World AIDS Day, this has had a great impact as so many people have enquired and commented on it, again, highlighting this international day of awareness.
It's not only on World AIDS Day that we are raising money and awareness, but all year round. Here are some ideas of what you can do:
- Wear your red ribbon all year round
- Get a team together from your office to take part in a sponsored event
- Wear red to work day and charge money for that
- How about organising a pub quiz in your local, inviting colleagues to form teams and take part
- Organise a themed event race night, casino night
- Invite Sahir House to deliver HIV awareness information sessions with HIV positive guest speaker to your work place (small charge may apply)
If you have any ideas, suggestions, want support with any fundraising for Sahir House in your work place, community, college or university please contact Serena at Sahir House. Every penny counts.
If you do any fundraising in the work place see if your company will match the amount raised, lots of companies match the funds that their employees raise, this could double the amount of money and also encourage more support in the work place.
Gift Aid
Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, we get an extra 25 pence from the HM Revenue and Customs, helping your donation go further. This means that £100 can be turned into £125, imagine what a difference that could make, and it doesnt cost you a thing.
