Help support VLM’s mission by donating raffle prizes! Each year, we host raffles, including our popular Christmas and Table Quiz raffles, to fund vital projects. Unused vouchers, boxes of chocolates, or other gift-worthy items from you or a local business would make a great addition.

Car boot sales are a fun, community-driven way to sell your items, connect with others, and support life-changing work.

Donations

School Books
Celebrate by giving back! For your next birthday, wedding, or special occasion, consider asking friends and family to donate to VLM instead of giving gifts. It’s a meaningful way to share joy while supporting vital projects for those in need. Visit our shop for real gift ideas.

Tax-Effective Giving

Make your donation go further with tax-effective giving! When you donate €250 or more in a calendar year, VLM can reclaim nearly 45% in tax, maximising your impact at no extra cost.
