Some families tell us they are fundraising privately to help meet important needs. If you are considering fundraising or are already doing so, we want you to feel informed and safe throughout the process.
Understanding some of the key practical considerations can help you avoid potential difficulties, ensure that the money raised has the greatest possible impact and can be used in the way you intend.
Top tips before you start your fundraising:
Explore grants and statutory funding first as you may not be eligible once you launch an appeal
Fundraise for the outcome you want, not a specific item
Plan for changing circumstances and be open with your supporters
Check how your chosen fundraising platform manages and releases funds
Speak to your clinical team before fundraising for specialist equipment or treatment
