Little Ripples
Fundraise

Help us reach more families.

Little Ripples exists because children and families affected by a parent's cancer diagnosis deserve better support. Every single pound raised helps us reach more families, develop more resources and make sure no child has to navigate this alone.

Why your fundraising matters

When you fundraise for Little Ripples, you're helping us to:

Develop free resources, co-designed with children and families
Keep everything we offer free, with no referral and no waiting list
Reach families early, from the point of diagnosis
Help schools and nurseries support a child who is going through it
Grow our panels so more children, young people and parents shape the support they receive

Every donation also helps cover the day to day costs of running Little Ripples safely and well.

We are small with big ambitions. Your support helps make those ambitions real.

How would you like to fundraise?

Take on a challenge

Whether it's running your first 5k, cycling a long distance, swimming, hiking or something more unusual, a challenge is a brilliant way to raise money and get people behind you.

  • Sign up for a local fun run, 10k or marathon
  • Organise a sponsored walk, cycle or swim
  • Take on something closer to home, a sponsored silence, step challenge or fitness goal

Get your community involved

Some of the best fundraising happens when people come together, at work, at school, in your community or among friends. A shared event can raise a surprising amount and create something really memorable.

  • Host a quiz night, bake sale or coffee morning
  • Organise a raffle, auction or dress down day
  • Plan a dinner, ball or community event
  • Get your school or workplace involved with a themed day

Celebrate and give

Got a birthday, anniversary or celebration coming up? Ask friends and family to donate to Little Ripples instead of, or as well as, buying a gift. A simple way to mark a moment that matters while doing something meaningful.

Fundraise in memory

If you've lost someone to cancer, fundraising in their memory can be a powerful and positive way to honour them. Knowing your fundraising will help children and families facing the same experience can bring real comfort.
