Fundraise together for Friends of the Earth

When it comes to climate justice, every cuppa, every challenge, and every amount raised helps. Community fundraising is a brilliant way to support the work of Friends of the Earth while bringing people together. Now more than ever do we need to come together. Whether you're a planner, a performer, or wanting to work behind the scenes — there's something here for you.

What You Can Do

☕ Host a Community Event
 From a Cuppa for Climate coffee morning to a cold water dip, hike, table quiz, sunrise cold water dip, music gig or even a film night– there are many fun ways to host a simple and fun event. 

🚶 Join or Create a Challenge
 Take on something personal — like running a mini-marathon, walking 10,000 steps a day, or going sugar-free for a month. Set your own goal and ask friends to sponsor you. It’s easier than you think. You can get started through iDonate or Give2You.

🥧 Sell Something or Hold a Bakesale
From bake sales and second-hand book stalls to local recycling drives, this is a great way to raise funds and build community spirit. Simple, effective — and always appreciated.
