Raise money for Reprieve


Kenny Richey reunited with his family after 21 years on death row

 Work with your friends, school, church, company or on your own to raise funds for Reprieve.

This could include raising funds to sponsor a Reprieve Fellowship (£25,000 per year), a Reprieve case (£10,000 per year) or any other aspect of Reprieve’s work

• £25,000 pays for a lawyer to work on death penalty cases in the US full-time for one year
• £1,000 buys a DNA test for a wrongfully convicted prisoner on death row
• £500 purchases a flight for a lawyer to visit prisoners in Guantánamo Bay
• £50 buys half an hour of professional translation of interviews with victims and witnesses of extraordinary renditions
• £5 pays for a single police report in a death penalty case

Reprieve represents over 30 clients currently detained in Guantánamo Bay. Here are 30 ways you can lend a hand (theirs are handcuffed).

If any of these ideas appeal to you, please get in touch with us at: info@reprieve.org.uk. We'd love to hear from you, and might be able to help by providing materials, information - and definitely loads of encouragement!  In fact, we've developed a downloadable Handy hints for safe and successful fundraising  document to get you started.  Good luck!
