Our fundraisers play a very important role, helping to keep our most difficult-to-fund projects going and raising awareness of the need for our work.
If you would like to become a volunteer fundraiser, please contact Dee at office@cambodiatrust.org.uk. You can also download our Fundraising Toolkit, which contains lots of information and ideas - whether you have a lot of time to spare or just a little. We will support your efforts every step of the way by providing you with practical tools and advice to help you.
You can fundraise online using our partner websites, JustGiving.com and Bmycharity.com. It's easy to set up your own fundraising web page and it takes the hassle out of collecting your donations! Online fundraising is a great way to raise funds from sponsored events, such as marathons, or from anniversary, birthday or 'in memoriam' collections. The funds you raise are passed directly to us, with Gift Aid sorted out where applicable, saving us admin costs. If you are based in the USA, you can fundraise online using FirstGiving, JustGiving's US sister company.
Perhaps you would like to take on a challenge and see the world while raising funds?
CharityChallenge.com offers a range of exciting adventures including cycling from Saigon to Angkor Wat. In addition to your own fundraising, Charity Challenge makes a donation to our work for every participant on their Cambodia trips.
You can find out more and book online through Charity Challenge's very informative website.

Making a difference - our volunteers
All over the world, volunteers are making great contributions to our work - not just by fundraising but also by donating their time and skills. As a small organisation with limited resources, this help is really valuable to us! We’d like to say a big thank you to each and every person who gives their time and energy so generously. Here are just a few volunteer stories...
Craig St George is a web development expert from New Zealand who has recently done some technical work on our website, enabling us to securely share documents with our staff members across the world.
Sue Crow has set up an online donation service for the Cambodia Trust's supporter group in Australia, making it easier for Aussie donors to contribute to our work.
Photographers Simon Larbalestier, Susan Schulman and Andrew Smart have recently donated their wonderful images for use in our newsletters, annual reports and on our website. Having high quality images is a very important part of promoting our work, however professional photography can be expensive. Our talented volunteer photographers allow us to use their images free of charge. They also help to raise awareness of the ongoing need for our work by publishing and exhibiting their photographs.
