Connecting with your local community through fundraising provides an exciting chance to make a meaningful impact. Whether you’re associated with a school, business, or are an individual, there are so many ways to help us raise vital funds and spread the word of what we do at AFK, here we’ve provided you a starting point with fundraising ideas or upcoming events you can join in with!

Why not take part in an event?

Taking on a challenge event can be hugely rewarding, as well as raising money for our cause.

 

Once you have decided what event you would like to take part in, set yourself a fundraising target. Our events team can help you decide on a figure that is achievable and help you set up an online fundraising page. JustGiving is a great site for this.
