Fundraise for us

Make a difference in your own way

Whether it’s a cake sale, a sponsored cycle, a mufti day at school, or a community event with friends and neighbours, your fundraising can make a real difference to people across Wells and the surrounding area. There are so many ways to support Wells Community Network — from simple activities that bring people together, to larger challenges that inspire others to get involved. Every pound raised helps us continue providing practical support, information, companionship and vital services for local people who need us.

Fundraising ideas

What your fundraising helps us do

Your fundraising helps us provide support to people in our community who may otherwise struggle to access essential services.

For example, your support helps us provide transport and practical assistance for people who:

  • Have no family or support network nearby

  • Are unable to drive due to age, illness or disability

  • Cannot afford taxis to medical appointments

  • Feel isolated or unable to access the services they need

A simple journey can mean so much more than getting from A to B. For someone facing loneliness, ill health or difficult circumstances, a volunteer driver can provide reassurance, kindness and the confidence that someone cares.

Your fundraising helps us ensure that people like Mrs T, who needed support getting to hospital after losing her husband, or Mrs A, who relies on our help to remain independent at home, are not left without support.

We can help you get started with ideas, information and support. Whether you are fundraising alone, with friends, through a school, workplace or community group, we would love to hear from you.

Together, we can help make Wells an even more connected, caring and resilient community.
