Fundraising materials
Take part in a fundraising event
Rather than organising your own fundraising challenge you might prefer to take part in one organised by CRCC or another third party organiser.
Our amazing volunteer fundraising group organises a number of events each year and we also have charity places available in some of the popular challenge events, especially local ones.
What to use your own place to raise funds for us? If you already have your own place in an event, tell us about your fundraising using the link above and we’ll send you out a fundraising pack and be on hand to support your fundraising.
