Fundraising Events
Fundraising supports Crossroads by raising funds needed to sustain the charity’s work. This is split between the Shop and the Fundraising Organiser.
One of our most successful fundraising events are the annual coffee mornings which we hold in Spring and Autumn at the Crown Church Hall, Inverness.
The Fundraising Organiser raises income from a number of sources. These include:
The Department also produces its own annual Magazine and twice yearly Newsletter both available from the Crossroads Shop, office or by joining our mailing list.
Fundraising can take many forms from individual sponsored / organised events to local business support and ‘In Kind’ gifts. We always welcome anyone who can offer us a ‘one off’ hour’s help or regular, weekly, support.
If you have any questions regarding fundraising activities, or you would like to support our work then please feel free to phone Pamela Poston, our Fundraising Organiser, for an informal chat.
Following the huge success of the Crossroads Inverness stationary, we have produced two more sets of Inverness and Highland views. These are available from the office and shop and cost £1.99 for 8 notelets bearing the Crossroads logo and charity details on the reverse. The Crossroads' Christmas cards will be available from the Eastgate Centre stand and also the office throughout the festive period.
