Fundraising Ideas
Auctions
Every second month we host an online auction including a bumper hand made craft auction every November. The Auction Page also hosts pop up fundraising events during the non auction months. Our auction is organised through Facebook, where you can view many wonderful items that have been donated to raise funds for Saving Strays UK. Click here to visit our Facebook Auction Group and can place a bid on one of the items by commenting on the photo with your bid amount. We are always looking for donated items for our online Auction, so if you have any new or nearly new items or you are a crafter and have home made items to donate or you would like to create items for the auction as one of our contributors, you can email us here or drop a message on the Auction Page.
Donating Old Printer Cartridges

Concerts, Musical Evenings and featured Events
Throughout the year, we hold musical evenings in London and around the country. On the 26th of May, we will be holding an evening hosted by Strictly Come Dancing star, Ian Waite, and featuring the beautiful voice of Annette Wardell. The event will be at Burgh House in London and tickets will be on sale soon.
We also host yearly seasonal. Christmas concerts led by our patron Rick Wakeman. 2023, saw the launch of these Christmas concerts at Guildford cathedral and St Mary Le Tower in Ipswich. The evenings include readings from Peter Egan, Music from acts such as triple cream and Mim Grey, and some celebrity special guests .This year we will be returning to Ipswich and will also be hosting a Christmas concert in Chelmsford. Tickets for these events will go on sale in the spring as they are highly sought-after and sell out fast.
The special evenings also include an auction and a raffle and usually a special appearance from one or two of our rescued dogs.
This year we have also been invited to take part in a festival on the 21st of September, and we will also be hosting a very special sponsored, walk Complete with refreshments and pitstop along the way where you can buy merchandise and special gifts.
