Organise your own event

There are hundreds of ways you can help raise funds for RedR - from dress-down days and coffee mornings to skydiving and bungee jumps. You can organise an event of your own through school or work, or with a local group. The money you raise can make a real difference to the lives of people affected by disaster or conflict.

Getting started

Decide on what you are going to do - shave your head, skydive, bake a cake or cycle from London to Paris.
Set up your online Justgiving fundraising page
Ask your friends, family, colleagues, local businesses and any clubs or associations you belong to support you.
Ask your company to match what you raise.
Contact your local newspaper, radio station or website with details of your events.
Tell your sponsors about Gift Aid so that we can reclaim the tax on their donations at no extra cost to them.
Send us photos and an event report so we can thank you on this website or in our newsletter.
Don't forget that we're here to help you! All your questions answered at fundraising@redr.org.uk.

Whatever the activity or event you organise to raise funds for RedR, we will provide help, support and encouragement.

Request your fundraising pack now and start fundraising.

Our fundraising pack has fundraising tips, legal advice and information about promoting your event in the local media. We also have a range of promotional materials including leaflets, posters and balloons. In some cases we can arrange for a RedR member to speak about his/her experiences in the field at your event.

"We did the challenge for RedR because the work RedR does fits perfectly with engineering students like us at Plymouth University."
