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.
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!
