Fundraising

Thank you so much for thinking of us! We would love to have your support.

Whether it's a coffee morning with close family and friends, or a dress down day at work, there are so many ways to fundraise
Why not challenge yourself and take part in a trek, run, or even a sky dive.
If you're a student you can encourage your Student Union, society or sports club to organise a fundraising event.
Got a big celebration coming up? You could ask for donations in lieu of anniversary, birthday, or wedding gifts.

If you've decided how you want to fundraise, let us know! Whatever you choose to do, we’ll be here to support you throughout your fundraising journey. Get in touch on fundraiser@mhaberdeen.org.uk

Fundraising FAQs

Do you have any tips to help me achieve my fundraising target?

When getting sponsorship, go to people who will be your top sponsors first - by having a series of 5-10 sponsors on the top of the form, others will follow suit.

Be sure to personalise and keep updating your fundraising page: add a profile picture, tell people why you’ve chosen us as your charity and how things are going in the run up to your event. People love to see pictures and videos, so share training selfies or behind the scenes clips.

Can you advertise my event?

We are happy to offer advice on how you can promote your fundraising event, and where possible and appropriate, we are happy to share details on our social media channels!

Can I have branded materials like collection buckets, merchandise, leaflets, t-shirts and banners?

Of course! If you are interested in having any MHA branded materials at for your fundraiser, please let us know by contacting us at fundraiser@mhaberdeen.org.uk. If we have collateral available, and we can get it to you in time for your event, we’d be delighted for you to make use of it.

All buckets/donation cans must be returned after your event.

Can someone from MHA come to speak at my event?

We’d love to be at your event, but it does depend on staff/volunteer availability. If a mutually suitable time can be arranged beforehand, we’ll see you there and would be happy to say a few words. Contact us at fundraiser@mhaberdeen.org.uk if this is of interest.
