Perhaps your company chooses a good cause to support each year and you're already considering who to support in 2027. Maybe your organisation runs regular fundraising events. Or perhaps there's a cause that's particularly meaningful to one of your employees.

Whatever your reason for fundraising, we would be delighted to hear from you.

In the past, we've been fortunate to receive wonderful support from local organisations including Wetherby Runners AC and Nidderdale Messiah, alongside many other groups who have chosen to raise funds for our service. (Throwback image of our crew running last year's .)

Every organisation is different, so we'd be happy to have a conversation about what could work for you - whether that's a year of fundraising or a single event.
