Welcome to the Fundraising section which details a numbers of sources of grants as well as other fundraising opportunities to help you raise money.

The Fundraising department of The Scout Association, based at Gilwell Park, consists of a team of four who are happy to answer your fundraising questions and queries. Fundraising need not be a daunting task; they are there to help you from being a sounding board for an idea you may have to helping you to make an application to the Community Fund.

They can also give advice on a whole range of money-related issues, ranging from grants to gift aid and from leaving a legacy to loans. You can contact them directly at fundraising@scout.org.uk.
