Emergency fundraisers
Whether you’re an individual, a school, a university, a business or a group of friends - you can be an emergency fundraiser.
When we launch an emergency appeal we'll ask you to raise money - and fast. The cash you raise will save children's lives in an emergency. We give families life-saving help when things are desperate, and then help them rebuild their lives. It’s as simple as that.
Sign up to become an emergency fundraiser and as soon as a disaster strikes, you’ll get a call to action. Whether it’s an earthquake, a cyclone, famine or war, one thing’s for sure: children’s lives are in extreme danger. Without quick help, many won’t survive the next few days and weeks.

Enough to eat £250 challenge
Right now there are lots of children in East Africa without enough to eat. This makes them much more likely to die from curable diseases. We're there, working flat out to save lives. We need you to get involved so we can reach more.
16 October is World Food Day, but we’re giving Emergency Fundraisers the whole of October to raise £250 to save children’s lives in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. £250 is enough to provide a month's supply of special emergency food for 20 severely malnourished kids. Take part in the ‘Enough to Eat’ Challenge this October and you’ll raise enough to save the lives of 20 children.
How you raise the money is up to you. We've got lots of ideas if you need them. Take the challenge, get your friends involved and we'll make sure the money you raise goes direct to children caught in these devastating food emergencies.

Emergency projects
Over the next few weeks we're bringing together groups of Emergency Fundraisers who live near each other to work on bigger fundraising projects. Get involved in this and you'll be making a massive impact on our life-saving work in emergency situations.
You'll get to meet people as passionate about emergency fundraising as you. You'll have the chance to learn new skills, which could be anything from managing an event and developing marketing plans, to fundraising and communication skills.
Your group will come together for an initial workshop to develop your fundraising ideas. You'll then plan together how you'll achieve it and who will undertake what roles. You'll be supported by an experienced fundraiser throughout your project, plus we'll give you plenty of advice and provide you with the resources you need.
