Fundraise for us and help change children’s lives!
Taking on a fundraising event is brilliant fun and really rewarding. The funds you raise will brighten the days of children in hospitals across the UK, and bring the magic of books and stories of some of the most disadvantaged children.
Fundraising can feel daunting, so we’ve compiled some ideas, information, and inspiration to help kickstart your fundraising journey with Read for Good. We’re here to support you with advice and encouragement every step of the way – If you need anything, we’re just an email or phone call away!
Here are our 4 simple steps to amazing fundraising:
Get inspired…
Some people have the perfect idea for fundraising that works for them, and others might need a bit more inspiration. No matter how you feel, we’ve got an A-Z of fundraising ideas resource that can help you get creative.
So you’ve been inspired, now what? It’s time to choose how you’ll support Read for Good. Take a look at our exciting range of challenges across the UK, designed to test your endurance. If your place of work chooses charities to support, nominate Read for Good as your company’s charity of the year to improve the outcomes for all children in the UK by enabling children to develop a love of reading. Or if you want to organise your own fundraising challenge, he next step is to get your fundraising page up and running. This is where the magic happens, and how the funds can be collected directly for Read for Good. We use a platform called Enthuse, which is super easy to use, and really similar to other fundraising pages you might have used in the past. If you have any questions though, just get in touch.
“I have chosen Read for Good because I think books are important for people of all ages. Whether it’s for education or just as a hobby, reading can be beneficial for everyone and I would love to be able to help spread the message”
Elijah, Run Durham Dalton Park
