Fundraise

We have a wonderful group of volunteers who organise fundraising events throughout the year, such as a Charity Pop Up Shop, Art Show, Fashion Show, and our Golf Day. Thank you to everyone who attends these events and gives so generously. If you fancy joining the fundraising committee, please get in touch.

There are also lots of other ways for you, a friend or family member to fundraise on behalf of  Mearns Kirk Helping Hands - and have fun along the way!

You could take part in an organised event like our volunteer Joe Freedman did. He completed the 2025 KiltWalk-  raising over £2k for us!

Or you could do your own fundraising, it doesn’t have to be an organised event.  A bake sale, or sponsored skydive (for the brave!), a garden open day – the list of possibilities is endless! We’d be delighted to chat to anybody who wants to fundraise on our behalf. Please email hello@mkhelpinghands.org.uk or call 07858 552767.

Finally, we want to make it as easy as possible to fundraise for Mearns Kirk Helping Hands.   That’s why we’ve set up three online ways to help us - all super simple to use.
