Our fundraising events

We now have places available in a number of exciting fundraising events in 2021! Sadly all our challenge events were postponed or cancelled in 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so we need your help now more than ever!

As well as these brilliant challenges, you can also take on a virtual event or hold your own fundraiser. No matter how you raise funds for us, we are so very grateful to you all!

If you need any help with fundraising, please download our fundraising guide or get in touch by emailing the fundraising team or calling +44 (0)1653 692583.

We also have a sponsorship form which can be downloaded and printed out.
