Fundraise
Start planning your own event or challenge for MHA. Every pound you raise helps older people feel supported, connected and valued.
Do your own fundraising
From coffee mornings and quizzes to sponsored walks and personal challenges, fundraising is a brilliant way to support older people and bring your community together.
Choose something you’ll enjoy, set your goal, and we’ll help you every step of the way.
Get involved
Take on an unforgettable challenge or support one of our appeals and help raise essential funds so people can live later life well. From runs and skydives to community events and campaigns, there are so many ways to get involved, with MHA supporting you every step of the way.

I didn’t realise how lonely I’d become until I started coming to my local MHA Communities group. Now I’ve got people to talk to, things to look forward to, and I feel like myself again.

It’s such a relief knowing my mum isn’t alone. She’s supported, included, and she has people around her who genuinely care.
