Some of our challenges are operated exclusively in aid of one particular charity, but where you see the words “in aid of any charity”, you can raise funds for any cause that you feel passionate about, as long as they are a UK or Irish registered charity, and they authorise you to fundraise in their name.
We will help to get the authorisation for you to fundraise, so choose from one of the many charities on our database, or if you don’t find them listed, you can give us some contact details when you book and we’ll get in touch with them about becoming a charity partner.
Please type in the name (or part of the name) of the charity below in the ‘search term’ field below. If the name is a direct match, it will appear at the top of the results list. i.e. if you type Cancer, Cancer UK will appear towards the top of the results, British Cancer UK will appear lower down, and The UK Foundation of Lung Cancer Charities will appear even further down. So please try the exact match for the first few words to make it easier to find your charity. If you type a search term that is not in the name of the charity, but is in the description about the charity, it will appear after all of the above named results.

Stem cell and bone marrow transplants are now regularly used as a potentially curative treatment for patients with blood cancer, such as lymphoma, myeloma and leukaemia. Yet 4 in 5 patients from black, Asian, mixed-heritage or other minority ethnic groups are unable to find a donor match. Race Against Blood Cancer works to increase the number of people from minority groups – whether defined by race, ethnicity or gender – which are vastly underrepresented on the donor registry as stem cell or bone marrow donors. The formula is simple: Donors save lives.

RedDuck has been established in memory of my son, Raffy. We campaign to inform and educate HHV6 red flags and differentiate between symptoms of HHV6 and GVHD, graft vs host disease, to update outdated protocols when testing for and monitoring this virus in those who are immunocompromised, the virus that claimed the life of my son. Our second purpose as a charity fundraises for children in palliative and end of life care to enable them to access alternative and holistic therapies, as well as sensory support. The NHS does not typically fund this and when my son was in palliative care, I had to source and access therapy for him myself. I saw first hand the effects of this alternative treatment and the peace and comfort it offered my son. We hope to make this an option for families to bring comfort to their children in these excruciatingly difficult times.
