Fundraise


Advocacy Focus is an independent charity, and fundraising helps us keep delivering support that changes lives across our communities.


Fundraising helps us be there for people when they need support most. Every donation helps us continue providing life-changing services, reach more people in our communities, and make sure no one feels unheard or alone. Without this support, many of our services simply could not continue.

Make us your chosen charity

Are you a business looking for a new nominated charity?

We would be very happy to talk to you about Advocacy Focus becoming your nominated charity, either via a ‘one-off’ fundraising campaign or as your ‘charity of the year.’

Read our success stories and see how we help people in our communities.

Advocacy Focus would be keen to meet you and to talk more about how we can work in partnership to extend the reach of our advocacy support, so that no-one falls through the gaps as a result of overstretched services.

We can develop a tailored corporate and social responsibility support package in return for your help, which will benefit your staff and business, whilst supporting the local community.

Thank you so much for wanting to support our charity.

As a small local charity we look to maximise what we can do from every donation. We have made the decision to use JustGiving to collect all donations, due to ever increasing fees by our website payment provider.
