What Happens Next?

Once your fundraising event is complete:

1. Celebrate Your Achievement

Take a moment to celebrate with everyone who supported you along the way. Whether you raised £50 or £5,000, your contribution matters and will help churches welcome refugees and people seeking asylum across the UK.

2. Transfer Any Offline Donations

If you have used an online fundraising platform, donations may already have been processed automatically. If you collected cash, cheques, or other offline donations, or if your chosen platform indicates these offline donations need to be sent directly to Welcome churches, please contact finance@welcomechurches.org for bank details and a reference number so we know who this money is from and what it is for.

3. Share Your Story

Share your story about this event with us. Your experience will encourage others to take part in future Walk to Welcome campaigns! Please email us at info@welcomechurches.org with a few photos and a short summary of your fundraiser. (Wondering what to include in your story? Find out more in the Info Pack!)

• Please remember that if your photos or videos include other people, particularly children or refugees and people seeking asylum, you should ensure you have their permission before sharing images with us. If your friends have worries about them being featured in the photos or videos, please let us know. We can help you to blur the relevant parts.

• With your permission, we may feature your story, photos, or quotes on our website, social media channels, newsletters, or future Walk to Welcome materials to encourage others to take part.

4. Stay Connected

Walk to Welcome is just one way to support refugees and people seeking asylum through the support of the Welcome Churches Network. We would love to keep in touch and share stories, resources, and opportunities to continue building communities of welcome across the UK.
