Organise your own event | Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre

Organise your own event

Bring people together, have fun, and help support people living with muscular dystrophy. Every pound you raise helps fund our life changing specialist support services.

Choose an event that suits you and your community. Coffee mornings, quiz nights, golf days, bake sales and charity dinners are all great ways to bring people together while raising money.

You could organise something at home, in your workplace, school or local community, or come up with a completely unique idea. Whatever you choose, we’d love to support you.

Make your event a success

Choose your event

Pick something you’ll enjoy organising and that suits the people you’re inviting. It doesn’t have to be a large event. Sometimes the simplest ideas raise the most.

Set a fundraising target

Having a fundraising target gives people something to work towards and can encourage more donations. If you reach your target early, don’t be afraid to increase it.

Spread the word

Promote your event through social media, email, posters, community noticeboards and word of mouth. Invite friends, family, neighbours and colleagues, and keep reminding people as your event gets closer.

Say thank you
