Fundraise for TCF

Easiest ways to fundraise

There is a really simple way to raise funds for TCF without running a mile or a marathon.

Your favourite shops and brands will donate to us when you shop with them at no extra cost. Click the buttons below to register now for Easy Fundraising and Give As You Live. You can also donate your Nectar points to TCF via Crowdfunder.

             

Challenge yourself! Download your fundraising pack here.

You can run, bungee, swim, cycle, hike - anything you can think of! All our upcoming fundraising events are listed here, but please reach out if there’s another event that you’d like us to support you for.

The simplest way to ask for the donations for a sponsored event is through online giving platforms such JustGiving, GoFundMe or Enthuse.

Set up your fundraising page with personalised photos and your reasons for fundraising. Ask for people to make donations (and add Gift Aid if they’re legible). The donations come straight to our charity without you having to collect the funds.

Coffee mornings, dinners, raffles and other non-sponsored events.

If you’re not a marathon runner (we understand), there are other events you can organise in aid of TCF. It can be great fun and a wonderful opportunity to get together with friends whilst doing something really worthwhile!

Whatever you decide to do, please make sure it is:

• Safe – both for you and everyone else involved 
• Legal – there are laws governing raffles, alcohol and food

We can give guidance on the organisation of any fundraising event.

We have a range of promotional materials including banners, collection boxes and literature on TCF so please contact us for these.

Publicity for events

TCF can help promote your event:

• Through social media
• In our quarterly Fundraising Newsletter
