Could you volunteer to help change lives in Russia and Georgia? Whether you want quick actions you can take with no committment or a greater involvement, the answer is “yes”! Read on to find out how you can help spread the word, fundraise or translate.
How much time do you have to spare?
Follow us on social media and share
We would love to connect on social media. If you would have five minutes from time to time, then you could be a social media champion for vulnerable people in Russia and Georgia. If you direct message us, we will let you know when we have a big campaign that you might particularly like to share. You can join our group of keen supporters who share our most important posts just a few times a year. There’s no obligation, but taking part can really help us up our profile on social media and spread the word about the lives we are changing.
Shop online and raise money
Sign up to Give as You Live and you can raise money as you shop with thousands of online retailers.
Buy and sell on Ebay
St Gregory’s has a shop on Ebay where you can buy greetings cards, books and gifts with all proceeds going to St Gregory’s Foundation.
You can also sell your own items and donate some or all of the selling price. To do this, use the advance selling options to list your item. Then select St Gregory’s Foundation as your chosen charity and choose whether to donate 100% or less to our cause.
Distribute our newsletters twice a year
If you have networks you think could be interested in our work, we’d be very grateful if you could distribute our newsletter (either the paper or electronic version). It comes out just twice a year. Contact us to make arrangements.
Help us with translation
From time to time we need help with translation from Russian, Georgian or Romanian into English. Native-speaker standard English and excellent knowledge of Russian, Georgian or Romanian required. Contact us if you would like to get involved.
Challenge yourself!
Why not set yourself a challenge and get your friends to sponsor you, or host a virtual event like a quiz? We have lots of ideas to get you started, and we are always happy to discuss your ideas. Just get in touch.

Host a get-together!
We provide a party pack for those who would like to organise fundraising parties with proceeds sent to St Gregory’s projects or you may like to create your own Russian-themed party pack!
