Our A-Z of fundraising ideas
We rely on your donations.
We could not keep doing the work we do to support Gurkhas in Nepal without the support of kind and loyal people such as yourselves.
Fundraising for The Gurkha Welfare Trust can be as simple or as challenging as you want it to be. Whether it’s holding a party, jumping out of a plane, or walking 100 kilometres, there is always something you can do. Our staff will be here to help you any way they can. If you have any questions at all about how to fundraise or raise awareness for our cause, then please get in touch.
