A new year means a new opportunity to get out there and do more for your community, and those who are in need of support. Fundraisers are not only a great way of raising much needed funds, but also the perfect opportunity to get out there, gather your community together, and enjoy good old fashioned human interaction! The options are endless when it comes to fundraising, you can take part in one of our many events, or get creative and hold a bespoke fundraiser – there is something for everyone!
Check out our community inspiration story below, alongside some great fundraising ideas for 2024 and beyond!
Amanda Dobie takes on Kiltwalk this April! 
Amanda has always wanted to do the Kiltwalk walk to help a good cause, little did she know when she would eventually take part it would be for a more personal reason than she had anticipated. Amanda lost her dad to Blood Cancer, and her recent journey to losing weight pushed her to take the plunge and sign up. Coincidentally, the Kiltwalk lands on Amanda’s birthday, which she took as her sign that this is exactly the time for her to take on the walk in honor of her dad, and in support of the many people living with blood cancer.
