Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
We know that fundraising can be just as challenging as the event, but our expert team will be on hand to help. Your support pack will help get you started, and we’ll be in regular contact with support, advice and ideas. You can also get support through our fundraising hub and collecting your fundraising using JustGiving.
JustGiving
Kickstart your fundraising by setting up a JustGiving page. You can easily share your page with your friends, family and colleagues on social media and via email. Plus, everything happens automatically.
The money you donate is sent to us, your GiftAid is collected and your sponsors thanked. Job done!
Our fundraising hub
From posters and sponsorship forms to social media badges and advice on promoting an event, find all the resources you need to smash your fundraising in our fundraising hub.
