Together, we have the power to change lives. By supporting cancer, heart and dementia disease research, we pave the way for breakthroughs that save lives and reduce suffering. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a cure and gives hope to thousands facing these diseases. This statements highlights the collective power to fund the research to bring hope to so many.
You may wish to use your expertise and help with things that you are good at, or maybe try something completely new. Either way, we will give you as much support as you need! Whatever ways you choose to help us, you can fundraise your way at your own pace. Every little thing you do helps us reach our target faster.
The pub, village hall, local sports centre and your best mate’s garden are all venues suitable for hosting a quiz. Decide what’s the best option for you and get working on those questions. Will the theme change by rounds or will your quiz be more niche, with all questions specific to a particular band, film or book? You host the night and guests pay to play. Simple concept... but the questions don’t have to be!
Minimal cost, yet spectacular returns are possible if you can identify something that will attract a lot of attention, e.g. abseils, runs, walks, keep fit, vehicle pulls, and more. Fun is a big incentive for people to get involved but you could also reach out to local businesses and ask them to donate a prize. They’ll be helping a good cause and if your event gains press interest, they’ll also get exposure. Sponsor forms are available directly from us.
Hold in busy areas – supermarkets, markets, shopping centres, and leisure centres. Make it different by choosing a theme, such as Valentine’s – chocolates, plants/flowers, cuddly toys, sparkling wine; Gardening, in the spring – pots of spring bulbs, tools, plants, seeds, gloves, pots; Easter – easter eggs, soft toys (bunnies, chicks, etc.); or Christmas – a visit from Santa, and everything themed around the festive season. Collections in public places will need a licence from the local council. Private land including supermarkets do not.
We all have bad habits, some worse than others, but if you have a habit you want to kick, why not do it while fundraising? If your habit is costly, why not donate the money you save? Or if your habit causes more frustration to others than yourself, why not have people sponsor you? Over the years our supporters have raised money by giving up things like crisps, television, alcohol, chocolate, meat and smoking.
Do you have a well-stocked record collection you're willing to let go of for a good cause? Or the contacts to get your hands on some sought after sports memorabilia? Then an auction could be the charity fundraising activity for you. You could even make your auction a more casual affair by auctioning off your skill-set, washing up for a month, anyone?!

We all understand the importance of social distancing to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our community. But we are social creatures and staying apart can be really hard. It also makes face-to-face fundraising that much more difficult. We want to overcome the downsides of social distancing by finding ways to bring people together online – for fun, for friendship and of course, for fundraising. From virtual quizzes to online events – they’re a great way to help us raise money even when normal life is disrupted.
