Great ideas for fundraising activites involving children
Our family groups have lots of amazing and successful ideas for fundraising. We would like to build a bank of ideas for family groups. Please send all your ideas to volunteering@diabetes.org.uk so that we can share them with other family groups. All ideas for small fundraising events or on a bigger scale will be very welcome.
Your local fundraising team will also be able to give you lots of ideas.
