Your fundraising will help our dementia specialist Admiral Nurses provide a lifeline to more families facing dementia – and we’re here to support you at every turn.
Fundraising ideas
Organising another fundraising activity alongside your main challenge will help you reach your goal. Here are some ideas:
- Host a quiz, raffle or sweepstake
- Hold a collection
- Organise a bake sale at home, at work or in your community
- Fundraise through a hobby or talent! Get crafting or get sponsored to donate a skill to friends and family
Visit our fundraising ideas page for more ideas.
Your fundraising welcome pack
Once you’ve signed up for your challenge, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.
JustGiving
Setting up a JustGiving page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.
You can use JustGiving to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia UK, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress using Strava so your supporters can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your JustGiving page, the more donations you’ll receive.
Gift Aid
If your supporters are UK taxpayers and their donation is voluntary (not proceeds of a sale), we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no extra cost to them. Make sure they fill in the Gift Aid form in your fundraising pack or tick the correct boxes if they’re donating online.
Sending in your donations
If you’re fundraising through JustGiving, the donations will automatically come to us. If you’ve got cash to pay in, you can do this online, by phone, by bank transfer or by post.
