Fundraising zone

	One of the most practical ways you can help people living with cancer is to raise money for Macmillan. We have all the tools and tips you need to hold a successful fundraising event!

Macmillan holds several national events each year, such as Cancertalk Week, The Big Hush and World’s Biggest Coffee Morning – perfect for involving your class or school. Or, organise your own event! Check out our Fundraising zone for loads of ideas and all you need to get organised. You can hold an event in the classroom, out of lessons, or a sports-based event. Not only is it a great opportunity to have fun, but fundraising is easily tied in with learning relevant to the curriculum.
