Fundraise For Us

Being there for local families affected by childhood cancer.

We receive no Government funding and rely on your amazing support so we can be there for every local family affected by childhood cancer.

You can donate your time, money or expertise – we’d love your support, however big or small.

£20 could provide toys or comfy new pyjamas for a child with cancer staying in hospital
£45 funds an hour’s counselling session for a bereaved family
£280 provides a memorial bench for a child who has passed away
£400 funds a big end of treatment celebration for friends and family
£700 covers the cost of a family’s respite weekend away

Go Gold

Every September Gold Geese raises awareness of childhood cancer signs and symptoms with our ‘Go Gold’ campaign. Local shops, schools and businesses get involved by fundraising and turning everything yellow and gold for the month.

Have you got a shop window you can turn gold or yellow throughout September?
Can you share Go Gold on your social media?
Could you turn your school or work gold for the day, encouraging people to wear yellow or gold?

Sports Events

From golf to running, swimming to hula hooping – whatever your sport, we’d love your support.

Choose Gold Geese as your nominated charity when you take part in a sports event or challenge. Just set up your Gold Geese page on JustGiving to start collecting sponsorship.

You can also join us for the Gold Geese Nuclear Races Mud Run. For more info and to sign up click here and join in the muddy fun.

Coffee Mornings

Get baking and share your delicious creations with colleagues, friends or family, while raising money for Gold Geese.

To fundraise, you could ask your guests for a donation for the delicious treats that you provide or set up a JustGiving page.

In Lieu of Gifts

Instead of gifts for your birthday, ask your friends and family to donate to Gold Geese. You can set up a JustGiving page or a birthday fundraiser on social media. It’s one of the cheapest and easiest ways of raising money for charity.

Workplace Giving

Payroll giving (also known as Give As You Earn) is an easy, tax-effective way of making a regular donation to Gold Geese, so it costs you less to give more.

Anyone who pays UK tax through PAYE (pay as you earn) can set it up.

You donate to Gold Geese straight from your salary before tax is deducted, giving immediate tax relief on your donations. This means it costs you less to give more!

You can choose how much to donate:
If you pay the basic 20% tax rate, for every £1 that you earn, 20p is paid in tax.
That means if you pledge £10 a month, we’ll receive the full amount but only £8 will be deducted from your net pay.
If you pay income tax at the higher rate of 40%, you can pledge £10 a month and only £6 will be deducted from your net pay, and at the highest rate of 45%, only £5.50 would be deducted.

Visit the Government’s Payroll Giving page to find out more or set up your donation.

Give as you shop online

If you’re shopping online with major retailers you can donate to Gold Geese, at no extra cost to you.

From your weekly shop to holidays, insurance and treats, if you shop via one of our online affiliate partners and choose Gold Geese as your nominated charity we’ll get a donation from them every time you shop online via the easyfundraising portal.

With over 7,000 brands to choose from, every time you make a purchase with easyfundraising we’ll receive a small donation for free. Just remember to go to easyfundraising first to find the retailer you’re looking for – and you’re ready to start shopping!
