Grab your clippers and take on our Big Shave Off to help us end new cases of HIV in the UK by 2030.
Taking part is simple!
- Sign up below to the Big Shave Off.
- Ask friends and family to sponsor you.
- Shave your head, chest, legs or beard.
You can even raise the stakes by hosting a 'shave it or save it' challenge. Will your friends and family donate more for you to Shave or Save? It all comes down to the day of your challenge!
If shaving isn’t for you, you can challenge yourself to dye your hair a crazy colour, create a crazy hair-do, or even grow your hair as long as you can.
Once you’ve signed up below, our friendly fundraising team will support you every step of the way.
Fundraising is quick and easy
It takes just two minutes to set up your JustGiving page and link it to our team page to kick start your fundraising.
Alternatively, you can fundraise on Facebook! Simply set up your fundraising post and get those donations rolling in.
Going live!
Do your shave on Instagram Live or even film and post across your social accounts.
This is a great way to get your friends and family involved on the day, and keep those coins of encouragement coming!
Your free T-shirt
Everyone who registers their Big Shave Off will receive a free Terrence Higgins Trust T-shirt.
