Fundraising ideas

As a small charity we can't host our own events, so are always looking for fundraisers to think of exciting ways to raise money for us.

From cake bakers, to mountain climbers, marathon runners to sample sale organisers, we need your support. 

Plus, when you fundraise for FTCT, you have the bonus of knowing your money will go directly towards improving the lives of UK children.

Get inspired. Download our our fundraising ideas pack for lots of ideas.

Find a challenge event near you

Letsdothis.com and Find a race.com list a number of challenge events, from running to cycling, obstacle races and more. 

One person who ran for us recently was the brilliant Sophie Aldous. Sophie ran the Great South Run for us, despite having never seriously run before! 

Looking for some inspiration?

Here's just some of the events our fundraisers have hosted for FTCT.
