Leap into fundraising with Family Fund

Family Fund is active on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X (formerly known as Twitter). Did you know that sharing our posts really helps? It raises awareness of what we do and encourages other people to support us.

And it helps us to reach more families that we may be able to help.

We’ve got a year full of amazing challenges coming up in 2024. Some are in person, some are virtual – so wherever you are and whatever your interests, there’s something for you. 

Want to organise a bake sale? A dress-up day at school? By holding these events you’ll create cherished memories and bring people together with family, friends or colleagues. There’s nothing like feeling a sense of community as you come together to make a difference.

2024 could be your lucky year! For just £1 per play, per week, you could win £25,000 and change lives at the same time. Find out more about playing our lottery.

Do you know someone who’s taking part in an event for us? Help make their challenge a success by dropping them some money – even a little will make a real difference and they’ll appreciate your support. 

After providing for your loved ones, leaving money to charity can be another way to make a positive difference to the younger generation. It can also be a tax efficient way of leaving a legacy. Get in touch to find out more about leaving us a gift in your will.

Our monthly newsletter is the quickest and easiest way to keep up to date with all the latest fundraising news and opportunities. Sign up to our newsletter today.

This is the ultimate low-effort option that really adds up. Make your everyday shopping work harder for you by turning it into a fundraiser. Just shop with your usual shops and brands through the Easyfundraising website and you’ll donate to Family Fund without it costing you a penny extra!

Having a declutter? If your belongings are no longer sparking joy, why not use them to help families raising a disabled or seriously ill child? Even a percentage of your earnings will make a difference.

When you nominate us for Charity of the year, it means your whole workplace can come together for a common cause. With colleagues, you’ll raise money for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child. It’s a great prompt for delicious bake sales, hilariously silly fundraising efforts and valuable team building.

Instead of investing in ever more expensive stamps, try a fun, environmentally friendly digital card this year and donate the cost of sending through the post. Get in touch to learn more.

Spread the cost of giving by pledging an amount every month. With £10 a month, we can make sure that parents and carers can buy new clothes for a child who needs frequent changes.

If your employer is on board, why not display one of our collection tins and collect any loose change customers might want to get rid of? It’ll soon mount up into a valuable donation. Get in touch to receive your collection tin.

We’re excited to launch a series of raffles in 2024! Sign up for our newsletter and keep an eye on our socials for more details.

Many companies choose to donate either a percentage of their takings or a whole day’s profit to charities. If your business can spare it, it’s a great way to demonstrate you’re a caring company. Get in touch to see how it works.

There are so many ways to bring the 24 leap year theme into your fundraising, with often delicious results. Why not bake 24 cakes to raise money? Who wouldn’t say yes to all those tasty treats? 

People are often keen to fundraise – once they’ve had the idea suggested to them. Why not spread the word and, with a little gentle encouragement, you could be the person who set off a lifetime’s worth of charitable giving.

Do you run a service business that you think might make a tempting prize that someone would be thrilled to win? Or maybe your business creates giftable goods that would make a cherished prize. Consider donating them to us – they’d be very gratefully received, and you might end up raising the profile of your business at the same time. 

Are you one of those people who struggles to think what to ask for each birthday? Instead of getting some well-meant but unwanted gifts, why not ask for friends and family to donate instead of a pressie this year? Get in touch to learn how.

Did you know that organisations such as Movement for Good regularly invite the public to vote for their favourite charity? Keep an eye on our socials and sign up to our newsletter for your chance to help us win up to £5000!

Kids love to feel that they’re making a difference and can feel really motivated by a fun, child-friendly fundraiser such as Odd Sock Day. Bake sales or a sponsored run around the school field can also be great ways to get children involved in making a difference at a young age.

It’s so satisfying to see your pennies mount up into pounds. Equally it feels great to donate the contents of that very heavy jar at the end of the year! 

Your story can help people understand how Family Fund helps in a unique and powerful way – and can encourage them to lend their support, enabling us to make a difference to other families’ lives too. Get in touch with our Stories team, who will lead you through the process and support you to share your story with confidence.

We’ve got exciting plans in place to launch volunteering opportunities this year. Sign up to our fundraising newsletter or keep an eye on our social media channels to be the first to find out
