Join Us for EMAST Fundraising Week: 28th Jun - 6th July
Here at EMAST, we are excited to announce our upcoming Fundraising Week, and we’re calling on all our incredible members and supporters to get involved. This is your chance to make a meaningful impact – and have some fun while you’re at it!
As a charitable organisation, we don’t receive any statutory funding, so the vital support we offer to those affected by asbestos-related conditions relies entirely on the kindness and generosity of our members, supporters, and partners. Every pound raised helps us continue our essential work.
What Can You Do?
We’re asking our members to take on a fundraising activity in their local area during Fundraising Week. Whether it’s big or small, every effort counts. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- Host a coffee morning or afternoon tea
- Organise a bake sale
- Take on a sponsored walk, run, or cycle
- Challenge yourself to a sponsored silence
- Hold a jumble or car boot sale
- Pledge to complete a social media challenge and gather sponsors
- Host a quiz night or bingo evening
- Offer a skill for donations – gardening, ironing, dog walking, etc.
- Do a 'dress up' or 'dress down' day at work
- Set up a charity car wash or community clean-up
The highlight of the week will be Action Mesothelioma Day, which we will be commemorating in Nottingham on Friday 4th July. This is a powerful day of remembrance and awareness, and a fitting culmination to a week of community-driven support and action.
