Fundraising Events

Support us through a fundraising event

Events are a fantastic way to raise awareness of autism and make fundraising a more social experience. From grannies to gal pals, drinking buddies to dads, the more people involved the better!

Looking for ideas? Take inspiration from some of our supporters by following us on Facebook. From simple and free activities to challenges worthy of superheroes, there’s something for everyone.

Find out how you can get involved via our Just Giving page.

What type of fundraiser are you?

Here are some words of wisdom from our fundraising officer:

There are three types of fundraisers. Which are you? Let me explain:

Some people know exactly what they’d like to do to raise funds for Child Autism UK. This might be something they’ve dreamt of doing for some time or a goal they’ve wanted to achieve. We can help provide them with the kit they need and share their story with our Facebook followers. Photos of proud supporters with their medals or weary but jubilant runners crossing the finishing line are always welcome too!

Some people want to support us but are after some inspiration. If you’re looking for some ideas visit our Facebook page or email [email protected] and arrange a call with a member of our team to brainstorm it together. We can also advise on everything from which fundraising platforms to use to spreading the word on social media.

A third type of fundraiser is the social fundraiser. Running a marathon solo isn’t for them. They might prefer to take part in an event with friends and family, organise a bakesale, or set up a sports team. Whatever you do, your efforts make you champs to us!

The beauty of a smaller charity is that we keep it personal. We really enjoy chatting with and receiving emails and photos from our lovely supporters. We appreciate each and every person who supports the families we work with. And please be assured that every pound raised counts!

Fundraising testimonials

This will be my third time this year taking part in a Welsh White Collar Boxing event at the Vale Sports Arena. But this time, I’ll be hunting down some Gold and leaving the arena with said Gold over my shoulder.

My daughter inspired me to apply over a year ago. And with each show I do, I try to get her involved in a different way each time. This time is no different – from picking my walkout music and my nickname, all the way to walking out with me.

For this show, I let her pick the charity I’m going to raise money for. I think she’s knocked it out of the park with her choice.

“Daddy, can we raise money for autism, buuuuuuut kids with autism?” were her exact words. So for this show – the show where she sees me becoming CHAMPION –  I’ll be raising money for Child Autism UK.

Whether it’s £1 or whatever anyone can donate, me and my daughter would be very grateful as we both believe this is a worthy cause.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It’s going to make a difference we can only dream of.
