Fundraising Ideas for Events

Our research into prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer cannot happen without YOU!

Supporting the Genesis Appeal is extremely rewarding and it's a lot of fun too! So why not get your friends, family and colleagues involved.

From coffee mornings to parachute jumps, we have had many great events in the past and are always amazed by the creativity of our supporters.

Below is an A to Z of fundraising ideas, if you would like to discuss these or any ideas that you may have, please contact Judi Hibbert, our Community Coordinator on 0161 291 4400 or email judi.hibbert@genesisuk.org.
