Sahir, Liverpool City Region’s oldest LGBTQ+ and HIV support charity, has recently launched its latest fundraising campaign, “Pound for Sahir”, inviting the community to unite behind the idea that small contributions from many can create a significant impact.
The premise of “Pound for Sahir” is simple yet powerful: by setting up a monthly donation of just £1, individuals can become part of a movement that transforms small, individual gestures into vital funds to sustain Sahir’s services. The charity also encourages supporters to sign up to their mailing list, to stay up to date on how the funds are being spent, the impact they are having, and explore creative fundraising ideas to help spread the message far and wide.
Help Us Help You
Sahir’s work is as important as ever, if not more. From providing support for people living with HIV to offering education and prevention programmes across the region, the charity continues to be a lifeline for individuals and communities in need. We really need you to help us, so we can help you – creating a partnership with the people of Liverpool City Region, reminding everyone that each contribution—no matter how small—plays a part in ensuring Sahir can continue to deliver its life-changing services.
Creative Fundraising Ideas Welcome
Following on from three incredibly successful fundraising events – Drag & Drop, Santa Dash for Sahir, and Snatch Game for Sahir – the charity is calling on supporters to get involved in any way they can. Whether it’s hosting a bake sale (a ‘pound of sugar’ goes a long way), running a sponsored event (‘pound the pavements’ for Sahir), or even creating your own unique fundraising initiative, every effort helps.
A Message from Sahir
Sahir’s CEO, Ant Hopkinson, commented:
“Pound for Sahir isn’t just a fundraising appeal; it’s a call to action for everyone to come together. Imagine if 1,000 people donated just £1 a month—that’s £12,000 a year! These funds would allow us to continue offering crucial services and expanding our support to those who need it most within the LGBTQ+ community. We’re incredibly excited to see the creative ways our community will come together to support this campaign.”
