Fundraise with Us

Every cake baked, mile run, or raffle ticket sold helps us save lives across Wales. We are incredibly proud of the amazing individuals, schools, community groups, and businesses who go the extra mile to fundraise in support of our work.

Your efforts make sure we can train more people in first aid, equip our volunteers, and be there for communities when they need us most.

Why Fundraising Matters

Your fundraising makes a real difference. Here’s how your support helps:

  • £15 could help support the costs of delivering our free first aid demonstrations to school children and community groups
  • £25 could support the costs of training new volunteers to deliver our lifesaving work
  • £50 could help keep our community buildings open for our volunteers to continue training the next generation of lifesavers

Be Inspired by Our Fundraisers

Across Wales, people are finding creative ways to support our mission. Some of the brilliant things our supporters have done include:

  • Charity runs and walks — from 5Ks to marathons, supporters have laced up their trainers to raise thousands of pounds.
  • Community events — schools and local groups have organised quiz nights, concerts, and coffee mornings to support our work.
  • Corporate challenges — businesses have taken on team-building activities and charity partnerships to make a lasting impact.
  • Creative ideas — from bake sales and sponsored silences to skydives and mountain climbs, every fundraiser has brought their own unique flair.
  • School fundraising – see our School Fundraising Pack for dozens of ideas for kids of all ages, from dress down days to pancake races!

These are just a few examples of the fantastic fundraising stories we’re proud to share.

Help us create a community of lifesavers.

We rely on generous people like you to carry out our lifesaving work.
