Every step you take, every event you organise, and every pound you raise helps survivors of sexual violence get the specialist support they need. Whether you’re running a marathon, hosting a bake sale, or rallying your workplace or school for a fundraising challenge, your efforts create real change.
Find the best way to get involved:
Take on a
challenge —
Sign up for a local event like a half marathon or create your own personal challenge.
Host a fundraising
event —
Quiz nights, sponsored silences, coffee mornings, charity auctions - there are many ways to be creative and bring your community together for a great cause.
Fundraise with your
group —
Schools, workplaces, faith groups, and student societies can make a big impact by holding a charity day, dress-down event, or team challenge.
Tips for fundraising success:
✔ Make it simple and fun
Choose a fundraising idea that makes you smile and resonates with you and your group.
✔ Be realistic
Ambition is great, but set achievable goals based on the time and resources you have.

Fundraising is more fun with friends, colleagues, or classmates - even if they’re just your cheer squad!
✔ Collect donations easily
Set up a JustGiving page to collect sponsorship (We can help!)
Use a personalised QR code for quick and easy donations (Please ask us)

Keep sharing your fundraising page, even after your event!
