• attend fundraising events to cheer on anyone who is taking part for Porchlight
• be part of Porchlight fundraising events as a greeter or marshal
• give talks about Porchlight’s work to schools and community groups (either with a member of the fundraising team or on your own)
• drop / pick up Porchlight collection pots to businesses and other locations in the local community
