Fundraising ideas and options

There are lots of fun and creative ways you can fundraise for WithYou. Whether you want to raise money for a service in your local community, or for our work nationally, your support will help us to reach more people experiencing challenges with drugs, alcohol or mental health.

Why not get your school, sports club, religious or social group together to raise funds for your local WithYou service? From bake sales to live music events, we’d be happy to discuss your ideas.

Got a birthday coming up? Or maybe you’d like to raise money for charity in place of wedding gifts?

Set up a fundraising page on Facebook or JustGiving and share with your friends and family to celebrate the occasion.

Easyfundraising partners with over 7,000 retailers who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice.

Take on a personal challenge or cross something off the bucket list, all while raising much needed funds for our services.

Head to our Challenge Events page to find out more.

Fundraising is a fantastic team building experience. Rally your colleagues to dress in blue for a day, organise a raffle, or take part in a challenge event.

James Nichol, our recovery worker and community engagement coordinator in The Borders, completed his sponsored skydive for WithYou and smashed his £1,000 fundraising target.

His skydive was also about helping to raise awareness and break down the stigma around seeking support for drug and alcohol challenges, and that means every bit as much to us as the money he's raised.

We're so proud of everything James has achieved, both through his fundraising and in his vital day-to-day work supporting people across The Borders.
