Start fundraising for Asylum Welcome
Asylum Welcome could not exist without our fantastic supporters. We rely on donations from our community in order to keep providing life-changing support to refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants. Asylum Welcome supports engaging and innovative events which tell people about the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees and raise funds for our charity.
🥳🎈 In September 2026, Asylum Welcome turns 30 and we are inviting you to celebrate with us! 🎂🎉

Supporting Asylum Welcome through fundraising is a wonderful way to bring people together while making a real difference.
Why not hold a clothes sale, a quiz, a bake off or a book sale in your local community? Or something else entirely? The options are endless and we’d love to hear your ideas! Get in touch with us at development@asylum-welcome.org and we can support you.

Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a flexible scheme which allows anyone who pays UK income tax to give regularly and on a tax-free basis to the charities and good causes of their choice. Payroll Giving donations are deducted before tax so each £1 that you give will only cost you 80p; and, if you’re a higher rate tax payer, it will only cost you 60p.
It’s cheaper because it’s tax free – for example, a donation of £5 per month costs the basic rate tax payer £4.

We are truly grateful to all of our wonderful fundraisers!
