Community Fundraising with Funding Neuro.
We are a rapidly growing charity with big ambitions. Reaching out to the community is one of the key ways in which we raise vital funds. In order to pioneer new treatments for serious brain conditions. We also rely on community support to generate the income we need to run an effective organisation. In other words we do not receive any funding from government.
We run a series of inspiring fundraising events throughout the year. Whilst our friends and supporters organise many fundraising challenges and events of their own. Together we’re able to raise the money we need to drive forward the essential research we support.
If you have any great ideas of your own we haven’t thought of, why not let us know? Whatever you do, please join our Funding Neuro Facebook Community. If you share our vision for finding powerful new treatments for serious brain disorders why not take on a challenge. Organise an event or hold a collection to support us? How about setting yourself a life-changing challenge? Or fitting some fundraising for us into your daily life? Whether it’s a sponsored bike ride or climbing a mountain, a collection at a school fete or a birthday party, no matter who you are, there is some way you can help us.
For example in 2021 we supported the GDNF Parkinson’s Unification Challenge which was a series of events over a week undertaken by the patients who had taken part in the GDNF Parkinson’s trial. Funding Neuro assisted in the entire planning process and provided practical assistance by way of a dedicated Justgiving page as well as providing T-shirts and sun hats for participants in their many activities.
Funding Neuro tries to support all our fundraisers. From giving you money-making ideas to supplying promotional material (collecting cans, branded t-shirts, banners), just get in touch and we’ll try our best to ensure your fundraising activity is as successful – and fun – as possible.

Social media is one of the best ways to make sure everyone knows about your fundraising. Using pictures and videos is an excellent way to document your training for a challenge or promote your event.
