Fundraising ideas

Organising fundraising activities alongside your main challenge will help you smash your goal. Here are some ideas:

  • Host a quiz
  • Arrange a raffle
  • Hold a sweepstake on how long your challenge will take, or how many steps you’ll cover
  • Organise a bake sale at home, at work or in your community
  • Create a sponsored playlist, where supporters donate to add their choice of song to your trek soundtrack

Your fundraising welcome pack

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.

Fundraising on Enthuse  

Setting up an Enthuse 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 Enthuse 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 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 Enthuse, 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.

Pay in your donations

The easiest way to send cash donations to Dementia UK is by donating to your online fundraising page. Alternatively, you can:

  • Donate via our website
  • Send in a cheque made payable to Dementia UK. Enclose a note including your full name and the email address that you used to register for your challenge. Post it to us at:
  • Dementia UK, 7th Floor, One Aldgate, London, EC3N 1RE
  • Make a bank transfer: please email  events@dementiauk.org  for our bank details
  • Make a payment by phone by calling 0300 365 5500

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. Too often, families struggle to find support, leaving them feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and alone.

When you support our charity, you’re helping us grow the number of specialist dementia nurses. With your help, no one will face dementia alone.
