- To raise funds for groups or organisations that don’t receive any (or enough) government, corporate or public funding
- To raise the profile of groups or organisations that aren’t receiving adequate media or public attention.
- To assist and become actively involved wherever we can at a grass roots level with petitioning, protesting and rallying.
