Fundraise for us

Fundraising ideas for your charity event
24hr livestream
Whether you’re a gaming fanatic or want to showcase your talent, a live stream is a great way to get your on and offline community involved in fundraising.
Bake sale
Muffin compares to a good bake sale. Make cake, biscuits whatever you fancy, don’t be scared to take a whisk!
Car wash
Get friends and family involved and wash cars in your local community, at your local MHA care home, retirement living scheme or a community centre. You never know who you might meet!
In memory
Get together with friends and family and organise what feels right to celebrate your mum, dad, granny, grandad, aunt, uncle or loved one in their loving memory. A special service, charity football match, or something related to their hobbies.
Dog walk
Get your furry friends involved and join others on a sponsored dog walk. Whether it’s a brisk walk or a lengthy stride, you and your much-loved pets could positively change the way later life is lived.
Sponsored sports
Get a sweat on, raise money and get fit! A couch to 5k run, a 24 hour swimathon, Lands End to John O’Groats cycle or a sponsored egg and spoon race around the park. Any sporting event you can think of can be sponsored to raise funds for MHA.
Talent show
Tell jokes, sing, or play the water glasses whatever you and your friends, family or colleagues talents, showcase them and charge for tickets and refreshments.
Quiz night
Begin the Countdown to fun! Get competitive with friends and family for charity.
