Fundraise for us

We rely on the generosity of our supporters and funders to continue providing free legal advice and advocacy. However you choose to fundraise, your efforts make a real difference.

How you could help

There are numerous different ways you could help to raise vital funds for NCLS.

Fundraise in your community

Host a coffee morning, quiz night or local sale. Bringing people together to support access to justice helps raise both funds and awareness.

Fundraise at work

Get your colleagues involved with dress-down days, bake sales or team challenges. Workplace fundraising is a great way to boost morale while supporting your community.

Take part in an event

Join a local run, walk or sponsored activity. Take part in a community event and raise funds for vital legal services across Norfolk.

Fundraise for a special occasion

Celebrate your birthday, wedding or anniversary by asking for donations instead of gifts. Turn your special day into a lasting act of kindness.

Take on a challenge

Push yourself with a sponsored walk, cycle or skydive. Personal challenges inspire others and raise essential funds for people who need our help most.
