Why not fly the kite by organising a fundraising event? There are plenty of things you could try. Start by letting us keep you updated with our latest news and fundraising activities (including events and campaign updates) using the contact information you supply to us via our contact form.

Some of the things you could do:

Shop via Our Online Shop 
Using our online shopping portal you can do all your usual shopping at all your favourite stores. Every time you make a purchase, we get a donation - it's that easy and it doesn't cost you a single penny extra! Tell all your friends to shop there too.

Social Events
There are so many different social activities that can be organised, from a coffee morning for a few friends to a major corporate entertaining event. The choice is unlimited. Why not have a themed tea party? Check out our helpful tea party downloads in the box to the right.

Sponsored Events
In need of a challenge, or just feel like doing something crazy? Why not do it in aid of Edward's Trust and get family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you? Take a look at some of the sponsored events already active on the Just Giving website. Why not set one up for yourself or give your support to someone else? David Higginson not only set up his own Just Giving page, but also decided to put up a blog so that we can follow his event from start to finish.

Sporting Events
A charity match, whether golf, tennis, football or whatever takes your fancy, can be an ideal way of promoting your club or company as well as raising money. Tell us about it, so we can add it to our events calendar

Spread the text word!
Tell everyone you know they can send a donation directly from their mobile phones. If they want to donate £10 for example then:

Text: KITE43 £10
To: 70070

It’s that easy! For other amounts the basic information remains the same - just change the 10 into a different number.

timto
We have teamed up with www.timto.co.uk to make children’s birthday parties better than ever, as timto enables friends to give great presents together and to raise awareness and funds for our charity. timto’s unique birthday present wish list service is especially for children to make it easy for little friends to come together to give truly memorable gifts, which individually they would not be able to give. Friends can also RSVP and write their very own birthday messages on the party page. Example: If 15 party guests contribute a total of £130. They could allocate £120 towards the gift wish list and donate £10 to us! Please visit timto for more information.

Tribute Pages
When bereavement touches someone close to you, it's natural to want to honour or remember the person in a special way. You can by creating a moving Tribute. A Tribute is a special Web page that enables you to share the story of a loved one with your family and friends. Through your Tribute, others can share their memories and also make online donations to help support Edward's Trust. All you need to do is go here: http://www.justgiving.com/en/remembering to set up your page. When asked to choose a charity, choose Edward's Trust. Then let us know about it so that we can add your page here on our site.
