Fundraise for us
Help us provide young people with the tools they need to thrive
Fundraise for us
Our mission is to help children and people have a fair chance to be who they want to be.
Taking part in a fundraising event or activity not only raises invaluable funds but also awareness, enabling us to continue making a difference to more than 7,000 young people, children, and families in Sussex and Surrey every year.
Whether you sign up for a sporting challenge, hold a coffee morning, organise a bake or craft sale or open your garden, fundraising with family, friends or in the workplace is fun and makes a real difference.
Sign up to your event, create a fundraising page and share the word! We are here to support you every step of the way so get in touch. Please email Lina.
