Fundraising

Supporter Events

Why these events matter.

Our fundraising events do more than bring in vital funds, they create community, connection, and hope.

Organised by our amazing supporters for our Sunflowers families, each event helps ensure children with complex needs can access the inclusive activities and events they deserve. From fun runs to coffee mornings, every effort makes a difference.

The money raised funds carefully planned sessions where children can feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves, often for the first time. For many families, these are the only events they can truly enjoy together.

You can help make this possible. Support an event near you, join in, spread the word, or even host your own!

Every raffle ticket sold, every cake baked, every pound raised opens the door to joy, confidence, and belonging for families who need it most.

Together, we can brighten lives, one event at a time.

On this page, you will find three types of events:

  • ‘In aid of’ events - those which are organised by our supporters and which may be open to the public. We are simply advertising the event and are not involved with the organising of it.
  • Sunflower events - these are official Sunflower events, organised by us.
  • Partner events - these may be things like runs or events open to the public, not organised by us but we are officially associated with.
