Get involved Fundraising ideas Our charity relies upon the selfless support of donors and fundraisers to provide much-needed help to people affected by Addison's disease and adrenal insufficiency. Can you help us fundraise? Fundraising ideas don't have to be sporty. Helping the work of the ADSHG doesn’t have to mean running a marathon, or swimming a mile. If you’ve got an idea, we are here to help you make it work, no matter what your experience. Safe and legal fundraising We follow the Fundraising Code and are registered with the Fundraising Regulator. This means that we need to help you fundraise in a lawful way. We may ask you to complete a fundraising agreement. You’ll need a Fundraising Agreement with us if you: Want to use the ADSHG or ADSHG logo or merchandise for your fundraising Are raising money through a business or selling something - see below section about Sales Fundraising Will be running a raffle or auction Will be selling event tickets Are receiving a reward for fundraising for us Are deducting any amount from donations to cover costs, or Are splitting the money raised between the ADSHG and another charity/charities. Don't worry, we will help you complete the agreement and get you up and running, or quizzing, or baking or whatever you're doing to raise funds for the ADSHG. If you don’t have a Fundraising Agreement, you’ll need to cover any costs or expenses involved in your fundraising event or activity. Contact our ADSHG fundraising team before you begin fundraising for us Sales Fundraising If you run a business, are a sole trader or create things to sell and would like all or some of the proceeds from your sales to go to the ADSHG please visit our Work For Good page to get started.

We can help in many ways from sending you a some ADSHG fundraising materials, a charity t-shirt or running vest, to giving you a shout out on social media to say thank you! Contact our Fundraising Team Host an event Could you host an event, big or small? It could be anything - a coffee morning, a stand at your local hospital, bonfire party, wine tasting, New Year's Eve fireworks - the sky's the limit! Just invite a handful (or two) of friends and neighbours to have fun at an event, raising donations from attendees. Do something sporty Could you or a friend put on your running shoes to represent ADSHG in the Great North Run, Dublin Marathon, London Landmarks Half Marathon or even your local park run? Or maybe cycling or golf is your thing! Why not put together a charity golf match at your local club with proceeds to ADSHG?

Whatever it is, collect donations for ADSHG from friends and work colleagues for doing something brave or daring.
