The Rucksack Appeal is not a crowdfunding campaign, but it's a good cause and so I thought I'd feature it here.
http://www.aokrucksackappeal.org.uk/ is their URL.
Their goal is to collect rucksacks (or backpacks, as we say in the States), fill them full of necessities, and give them to the homeless.
They also hold money-raising events.
They're holding some campaigns that my UK readers might find of interest - I take the liberty of sharing them here.
