Community activities

More than half our income is generated by fundraising events organised by people like you, whether it's a coffee morning or a lavish dinner-dance, dress-down day, sponsored hair cut, volunteering your time or putting one of our collection boxes on your premises.

We can help you with ideas and advice. If you already know what you're going to do, we'd love to hear about it, and we have a Fundraising Registration form to make it easy.

And if you don't know what to do yet, take a look at our Fundraising Guide, with its A-Z of ideas, or read inspirational stories from our supporters.

Join in as volunteer

We could not function without our volunteers. We're currently recruiting for several roles or you can contact us to discuss your preferred kind of role. We'd love to hear from you.

Start a collection!

We have a range of collection boxes for the home, shops and businesses, and items for street collections. Find out more about collecting pennies and pounds.

Set up a fundraising group with friends, family and colleagues

Our aim is to have a network of fundraising groups around the country and we need lots of people to get involved. Find out more about our Fundraising Umbrella Groups.

Join the Cupcake Challenge!

Baking cakes and sharing them with colleagues and friends in return for a donation is a yummy way to raise funds for us. Find out more about our Cupcake Challenge.

Go shopping!

When you shop through one of our online partners, we receive a donation at no extra cost to you. See who our partners are and start shopping!
