How you can fundraise for us

Collection cans and buckets

By adopting a Hansel collection can you can raise money to help us develop and deliver our services even if you don’t have much spare time. It’s an ideal way for workplaces, shops and hospitality venues to support us. Perhaps you'd like to choose Hansel to benefit from a bucket collection in your workplace or at a show or event.  Adopting a can or bucket is easy – just give us a call on 01563 830340 to request one. We’d love to hear from you.

Organise your own fundraising event

From hosting an afternoon tea to the thrill of a zip line, we would love you to raise money for Hansel.

Popular fundraising ideas include bake sales, quizzes, bag packs, coffee mornings and dress down days. Many people like to take part in a sponsored event from walking or cycling to swimming or horse riding. You might have a fantastic fundraising idea of your own - the choice is yours but if you need our support just get in touch by calling 01563 830340.

Your safety and wellbeing is our main priority, so please check the current guidance from the Government and your local authorities regularly to ensure you are following the most up-to-date advice whilst fundraising for us.
