Three ways to support The Free Town Trust

Since 2006, The Free Town Trust has been changing lives in Kenya and Sri Lanka, one child, one family at a time. From funding education that turns dreams into reality, to providing emergency aid that saves lives, every penny we receive goes directly to those who need it most. But none of this would be possible without the generous support of people like you.

Today, we want to share three simple yet powerful ways you can join us in our mission to create sustainable futures and empower the next generation.

1. Make a One-Off Donation

Sometimes, a single act of kindness can set off a chain reaction of positive change. Your one-off donation, no matter how small, can make an immediate and tangible difference. It could be the £60 that provides a pair of glasses for a student like Samasha, easing her headaches and helping her focus on her studies. Or it might be part of the funds that help rebuild a crucial school bridge, improving access to education for an entire community.

2. Support a Fundraiser

Fancy a tipple for a good cause? Our annual gin raffle has become a beloved tradition, putting the fun into fundraising! Or perhaps you'd like to turn your birthday into an opportunity for giving? By supporting or initiating fundraisers like these, you're not only contributing financially but also spreading awareness about our work. These events bring our community together, reminding us that changing the world can be both impactful and enjoyable. Whether you're participating in a sponsored walk, hosting a bake sale, or simply sharing our fundraisers on social media, you're playing a crucial role in our mission.

3. Set Up a Regular Donation via Direct Debit

For those looking to make a sustained impact, setting up a regular donation via direct debit is a powerful way to support our work. Regular donations, even small ones, provide us with the stability and predictability we need to make long-term commitments.

It's these consistent contributions that allow us to support students like Maheesha through their A-level studies or provide ongoing assistance to families facing hardship. By becoming a regular donor, you're not just giving money – you're becoming a partner in our journey, helping us plan for the future and expand our impact.

Remember, whether it's £5 or £500, a one-off gift or a monthly contribution, your support makes a real difference. It's the combined effort of our community that allows The Free Town Trust to continue its vital work, transforming lives and nurturing futures in Kenya and Sri Lanka.

Thank you for considering these ways to support The Free Town Trust. Together, we can write more success stories like Bettie's, provide more life-changing assistance like Samasha's glasses, and continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.
