FUNDRAISING
Fundraise for Helpful Hounds
Your support is vital in helping Helpful Hounds grow and transform the lives of more families, schools, and young people with additional needs.
Every donation makes a real difference. The funds you raise go directly towards developing the charity, training more Helpful Hounds, and enabling us to reach those who need our support most.
There are so many ways you can get involved. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, taking on a personal challenge, organising a community event, remembering a loved one, or simply want to make a positive difference, fundraising as an individual is a wonderful way to support Helpful Hounds.
Every fundraiser is unique, and every pound raised helps us continue training our amazing Helpful Hounds – dogs that will one day provide life-changing support to a child or young person. Whatever your idea, we’re here to help make your fundraising a success.
Helpful Hounds is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and HMRC, allowing us to reclaim Gift Aid on eligible donations, making your support go even further.
