There are so many ways you can fundraise for STEF, whether it be taking part in a sporting challenge, holding a cake sale or hosting a virtual quiz night.
One of our supporters, Tom Clements, raised £1,115 for STEF by abseiling down the side of the iconic Spinnaker tower in Portsmouth. Inspired by Tom’s adventure? Read his story here.
We don’t expect all our supporters to undertake this kind of activity, but there are many other fun ways to raise money for us.
Another supporter, Guy Hashimoto, raised £149 for us on his Facebook birthday fundraiser page. It’s easy to set up – so think of us when you have your next birthday!

Gift Aid – Gift Aid is an easy way to maximise your fundraising by claiming an extra 25p per £1 given from HMRC and can be collected automatically through JustGiving. However, there are some strict rules – Gift Aid cannot be claimed on ticket sales, raffle tickets, winning auctions bids or anything other than an individual donation. Also, it cannot be claimed on behalf of a group or as part of a collection. If you are planning a fundraising event and are unsure if you should include Gift Aid, contact us on info@southernthailandelephants.org and we can advise.
