Fundraise For Us

Fundraising is essential for Chickenshed to be able to continue to change the lives of young people. It is your support and hard work that make our achievements possible.

Fundraising is a fantastic way of meeting new people, taking on a personal challenge or ticking something incredible off your bucket list - all whilst supporting our vital work. Whether you fundraise in your community, take part in a fun run, a quiz night or something a little more adventurous - there are plenty of ways that you can help.

Chickenshed believes in celebrating diversity and nurturing creativity, so we welcome any wacky and wonderful ways that you may choose to give. One of our fundraisers recently had a baked bean bath and another has run the marathon wearing a chicken hat! So let your imagination run wild – fundraising for Chickenshed is an excuse to find the courage to do whatever you have always wanted to!

If you’re looking to push yourself to do something amazing, why not take a look at our fundraising calendar to see what exciting challenges and activities we have coming up? If you have your own idea and would like to fundraise for us please get in touch.
