Our 'in aid of' logo is available to promote your fundraising event. If you would like a copy, contact us at fundraising@fmauk.org.

Organising a Collection in a Public Place

If you would like to borrow collection tins, please get in touch at least two weeks before your event to give us enough time to post them to you.

For further information, see:

• Street collections in England and Wales.
• Street collections in Scotland.
• Street collections in Northern Ireland.

Raffles

Before organising a raffle, it's important you understand your responsibilities in keeping it safe and legal. You can only use shop-bought cloakroom tickets if you are selling them at and during an event, e.g. a fete. For the latest guidance and advice on this and any other type of raffle or lottery, please consult the Gambling Commission website.

Raffles in the UK cannot be held on any social media platform, and it may be easier to use one of the many websites setup for this purpose.

Collecting your Donations

JustGiving is one of the easiest ways to raise funds online and makes donating money easier for your family and friends. It can even automatically collect Gift Aid on their donations if they are taxpayers.
