Fundraising Ideas – How you can help the NPDG (UK) and have lots of fun at the same time!!

By raising funds to support the work of the NPDG (UK), anyone can make a difference to the lives of those affected by Niemann-Pick diseases. Fundraising can be lots of fun, so whether you are an individual, or an organisation, why not give it a try? We can provide you with advice on how to organise a successful event and supply you with a fundraising pack, containing; a t-shirt, stickers, a poster, an ideas sheet, collection boxes, information leaflets and a sponsor form. We also have other items you can use to help raise funds, such as wristbands and balloons.

If you would like to receive a fundraising pack, please contact us alternatively, you can download a sponsor form and a copy of our Guide to Successful Fundraising here.

There are many different ways that you can get involved, we have listed a few ideas below.   There is also a very useful website www.ideasfundraising.co.uk/home.htm that you may wish to visit.
