Over the past year we’ve all had to do things a little differently, and that includes fundraising. Thankfully the pandemic hasn’t stopped our wonderful supporters finding new and imaginative ways to raise money so we can continue our vital work saving and improving lives.
Although community groups have had to suspend meeting in person, many have continued online and used technology to run virtual fundraising events, such as music nights, quizzes and party games.
Setting up online fundraising through sites such as JustGiving has never been easier too. If you need help with any of these things, then contact the team.
When planning an event in your community, please ensure you adhere to the latest UK Government Covid-19 guidelines and consider the safety of everyone involved.

Saddleworth Round Table raised more than £10,000 for The Royal Oldham Hospital after setting up an online fundraising page during the coronavirus pandemic. The group also had £50,000 worth of products donated for the hospital from Oldham businesses.
The group donated MP3 players and tablets to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after one of its members spent 54 days in ICU fighting Covid-19. The kind donation meant family members could stay connected to loved ones while visiting restrictions were in place.
Helen Barrow, ICU lead nurse, said: "Due to restrictions we had in place during the pandemic, visiting was not possible, which was tough for patients and families who couldn’t spend as much time with each other. Having access to this equipment made a great difference to those who unfortunately found themselves on ICU during this time.”
