Fundraising

Every act of fundraising brings strength, hope and connection to those affected by cancer

Make a difference through fundraising

Join our community of dedicated Cancer United supporters, because every pound raised goes directly to helps fund patient support, through our CUFITTER™ gym programmes, our OUTSINGCANCER choir where members embrace the joy of singing or our very special support groups for both younger and older people

Why your fundraising matters

Cancer touches millions of lives and behind every statistic is a person, a family, a story that deserves our support. Your fundraising efforts are not just about raising money -they’re about creating a future for people where cancer no longer devastates the lives of those we help.

ways to fundraise

The power of community support

Every pound raised through community fundraising goes directly toward our mission. Unlike grants or corporate donations, grassroots fundraising represents something even more powerful a community ‘united’ in purpose. When you fundraise for Cancer United, you’re joining a movement of those who refuse to stand by while cancer impacts our families, friends, and neighbours.

Fundraising enables us to be responsive to the needs of those affected by cancer. It allows us to

  • Fund innovative research projects that larger institutions might overlook, the data from which is an essential tool for how we move forward 
  • Provide immediate support to patients who fall through the gaps in traditional care.
  • Raise awareness in communities that need it most. 

Your efforts give us the flexibility to act quickly and compassionately, exactly when and where we are needed.

Your actions inspire a movement

Beyond the financial impact, fundraising creates ripples of awareness that extend far beyond any single donation. When you host an event, share your story, or take on a challenge, you’re starting conversations about cancer that breaks down stigma, encourages early detection, and reminds people Cancer United’s help and support is vital for those affected by cancer.

 You become an ambassador for us and a highlight possibilities for others who might be considering how they can get involved.
