You can fundraise for us in a way that suits you, from holding a coffee morning to online shopping. For more ideas and practical guidance, download our Fundraising Guide.
Local communities have never been as important for charities like Arthritis Action as they are now. We are therefore grateful for the support we receive from all groups and organisations across the UK.
It’s inspiring to see how local communities come together to raise funds to support those affected by arthritis. If you would like more information on how your group might get involved, you can contact our Fundraising Manager on fundraising@arthritisaction.org.uk.
Easy fundraising ideas:
Online shopping
Another simple way to donate to charity through online shopping is by signing up to the website Give As You Live. This website then allows you to shop online from over 6,000 brands nationwide, with a donation being sent to Arthritis Action from each purchase you make.
Gifts
If you have a special occasion, such as a birthday or wedding, a lovely idea would be to set up a Just Giving page for Arthritis Action and ask your friends and family for a contribution in place of presents.
