DIY Fundraising

It’s a brilliant way to make a real difference in the lives of the young people and communities we work with at Chickenshed. Whether you’re taking on a personal challenge, hosting a quiz night, or doing something you’ve always wanted to try - you’ll be helping to raise awareness and vital funds for our work.

We do a lot to keep Chickenshed going - from applying to Trusts and Foundations to building long-term partnerships with brilliant businesses. But it’s the support from individuals, community groups and one-off fundraising events that adds something truly special.

As a registered charity, we need to raise over £4 million each year to keep our doors open and our work accessible to everyone. Around £1.4 million of that comes from ticket sales, education fees, memberships, and paid project delivery - which we keep affordable so that cost is never a barrier.

But we need to raise the remaining £1.6 million through fundraising - and that’s where people like you come in.
