Community Groups who Fundraise for Charity - Adult Groups
There are many community organisations who fundraise for charity. You can contact these groups by letter, phone or email, but the most effective way of persuading them to fundraise for your charity is likely to be a face-to-face meeting with the group where you talk to them about your charity's work. Below is a list of adult community groups; on the next page is a list of young people groups.
