Fundraise

Support local people facing mental health struggles

Getting started with fundraising

There are so many different ways to fundraise, either on your own or with friends and colleagues. We are a small local charity so you can be sure that every penny you give us will be used to support people in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area when they are struggling with their mental health and need us the most.

Let us know what you’re doing

We’d love to know what you’re doing and, with your permission, let others know about your wonderful generosity too. Knowing that someone is fundraising for us gives us a massive boost, so please don’t keep it a secret.

Inflatable 5K Huntingdon 2027

Could you help us raise valuable funds while also having some fun in the Spring fresh air? We have free charity places available for the Inflatable 5K in Huntingdon on 10 April 2027, in return for a bit of fundraising for us. You can choose to complete 2.5K, 5K, 10K or 15K over the course. In 2026, our six supporters raised nearly £2,500 between them!

Paying in your money

Funds will automatically transfer to us if you have used an online fundraising platform such as JustGiving. You can make a donation using the PayPal Giving Fund. Alternatively, if you would like to make your donation by bank transfer or cheque, please get in touch.

Searching for inspiration? Here are some of our ideas…

Host a coffee morning. Run a marathon. Climb a mountain. Do 50 star jumps every day for a month. Skydive. Do a sponsored silence. Make and sell crafts. Declutter your house and sell items you no longer love. Host a games evening. Organise a dress up or dress down day at work. Arrange a quiz night. What are your ideas?
