Our passionate and kindhearted supporters have fundraised for us in lots of creative ways, and our work would not be possible without it!
When you raise money for us, you can expect our support and advice, shout-outs on social media, and our undying love. You’ll also receive a thank you pack in the post to show our gratitude, and you can get updates from us on where your money goes.
If you want to or are fundraising for us now, get in contact with our Director of Fundraising and Marketing Lucy. We can give you access to our fundraising kit and resources, and tell our network about what you’re up to!
Got your plan in place already, or want to set up a page now? We recommend using GoFundMe, and all the money that you raise will come through to us automatically. If you’ve got money to give in a different way, please get in touch with our team.
Current opportunity
We have three charity places going for RideLondon in May 2024. If you’re aiming to spend more time on your bike this year, or if you’re already an expert cyclist and want to use that for good, why not take part? Ride 100 miles on traffic-free roads as part of the world’s greatest festival of cycling. Places are available on a first come first served basis - please contact our Fundraising Officer Joy if you’re interested or have any questions!
