Fundraising
Our dedicated fundraising team at Terrence Higgins Trust is here to support you every step of the way. Whether you're new to fundraising or looking to maximise your impact, we can advise you on the best fundraising platform for the event.
While we encourage everyone to fundraise, there’s no pressure - we simply ask that you consider whether you're confident in reaching your target before signing up.
If sponsorship targets aren't reached, it can impact our ability to continue our vital work at Terrence Higgins Trust. It can even leave us out of pocket, as we pay a certain amount for each event space.
Setting up a JustGiving fundraising page is quick and easy and all donations will come directly to us at Terrence Higgins Trust.
If you have any concerns about fundraising at any point, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We’re always happy to help!

Why we need you
Your support and fundraising help fund vital services including our one-of-a-kind sexual health helpline, HIV testing, counselling, and peer support programmes.
We are working to ensure that there will be no new HIV cases in the UK by 2030. Everyone living with HIV will be diagnosed, in treatment and care, free from stigma and able to take advantage of life’s opportunities.
Got your own place?
If you have bought a place in the race already and would like to run for us, let us know and we'll send you a free Terrence Higgins Trust running top. There's no minimum sponsorship in this case, just raise as much as you can!
Both charity place and own place runners receive the same amazing support from our dedicated team.
