Help us to raise funds for our new art room in Dharamsala.  A new, purpose-built centre is being built now to help recently arrived refugees from Tibet.  Our art room will help children who have left Tibet to explore their experiences through art, in a safe environment. We've created a totaliser to monitor the fundraising progress. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see how we are getting on.

To equip the room, we need to raise £3,000.  This will help us to furnish the rooms and buy equipment for the children to use. See below for ideas to get you started.

You can even group together to sponsor one of the items we need to buy.  Click here for more details.

Keep checking back here for an update on how much has been raised and for progress on building works in Dharamsala.

To support our cause and help build an art room, please send any donations by cheque to Art Refuge UK, sent to our P. O. Box (P. O. Box 37, Aldeburgh, Suffolk, IP15 5WY).

You can raise funds for us in a variety of ways – whatever you decide to do, have some fun along the way.  Here are some ideas to get you started.

Spare change – collect all the annoying pennies, two pence and five pence piece you have and donate them to Art Refuge UK.

Fancy dress – arrange a fancy dress day or theme day at work and charge people to join in.

Sponsored silence – hold your peace for a day and get people to sponsor you.

Give it up – give up something for lent and ask to be sponsored.

Treasure hunt – organise a treasure hunt for your friends and family and charge for teams to enter.

Car wash – organise a car wash at work or school and offer to wash cars for a donation.

Quiz night – arrange a quiz night and charge the teams an entry fee.  You could even arrange to have a snack half way.

Who’s who – get everyone to bring in a baby photo of themselves and run a competition to guess the baby.  Charge an entry fee to raise funds.
