Do your own fundraising

Small dreams. Big impact

Each month, fundraisers just like you are helping us to have the biggest impact, on hundreds of children and young people from across the UK.

Growing up with a serious or life-limiting condition can be difficult and, for those who have challenging circumstances in addition to their health needs, it can be even harder. 

By raising money for us, you're helping make dreams come to true for those who need it most. From climbing a mountain, to baking cupcakes, there are lots of ways you can help put a smile on the faces of those who need it most.

If you want to help us fulfil the dreams of those who will truly appreciate it, then fundraising is one of the best ways to do it.

What can I do?

We have plenty of ways for you to get involved. Whether you want to run, cycle, climb a mountain, bake a cake, host a raffle or create your own event - you'll be sure to find something that’s right for you.

Any funds raised – big or small – will help put the biggest smiles on the faces of the children who have their dreams come true. So become part of the amazing community of people who are helping transform the lives of children with serious or life-limiting conditions. To find out more get in touch.

Already have your own idea? 

If you already know how you would like to fundraise, we would love to hear about it and support you along the way. Tell us about your fundraising by clicking below.

Tell us about your fundraising  

Don't forget to set up your online fundraising page. Online giving is one of the easiest ways to collect your fundraising money, it is quick and easy to set up, and means you don’t need to worry about collecting cash or cheques, the money comes straight to us. 

There are lots of fundraising websites out there, but the one we encourage our supporters to use is Just Giving.   

Set up a Just Giving page

Paying in your money 

If all your donations are on your Giving Page, you don’t need to worry about a thing. Just make sure you have shared your page with us and we will do the rest.  

If you have collected your donations by cash or cheque you can send them to: Dreams Come True, Exchange House, 33 Station Road, Liphook, Hampshire GU30 7DW. Please make any cheques payable to 'Dreams Come True Charity'.

If you would like to pay your cash directly into an account rather than online, then please get in touch and we will send you the details. 

It can be hard to determine where these payments come from, so please make sure you put your details or email us to let us know you have made the payment.

That way we can get in touch and say a big thank you!

The health and safety of all of our supporters is a priority. Due to the current challenges posed by COVID-19 we want to make sure that you're keeping safe whilst fundraising for Dreams come True.
