There are so many ways you can raise vital funds and awareness for Beatson Cancer Charity. Whether you choose us as your Charity of the Year, host your own Big Beatson Bake-Off or Brunch, or join us at one of our BCC annual events, every penny you raise helps us to support a friend, neighbour or relative to make their cancer journey easier.
The best challenges take you out of your comfort zone and give you a huge sense of satisfaction after completing them. Taking the limitations of lockdown into the equation, what would be a big challenge for you? Here are some ideas!
Volunteer your talent at one of our organised bucket collections.
We have spots at various venues such as:

Are you organising a fundraising event and would like a special guest to come along? We can check our mascot Bella Beatson’s diary! If you would like a representative to come along to a class or assembly, Bella would love to bee introduced to your classmates too.
She loves to create a buzz in and around Glasgow, raising awareness and saying a huge thank you to our dedicated team of supporters. We need as much notice as possible with details of what your event is, so Bella can decide if she needs to bring her sportswear! If you would like Bella to make a beeline to your school or event, please contact us at: fundraising@beatsoncancercharity.org
We would be delighted to visit your school to tell you about the amazing work carried out at The Beatson. Our team are on hand to offer you all the support you need for fundraising events and activities, YPI projects or any other school community initiatives. We can also supply you and your classmates with all the materials that you require.
Could you create your own Beatson Cancer Charity Society? Are you required to organise a fundraising event as part of your school work or education course? We can help with that! We are here to give you hints and tips on fundraising, offer industry advice to maximise the impact of your event, and can help with games and activities to entertain your guests.

If you are able to do so, the simplest way to support Beatson Cancer Charity online is by donating directly to us at www.beatsoncancercharity.org/donate as a one-off or regular donation.
We appreciate that especially in these times many of us do not have as much spare change to give. So how about being able to give when you shop online for necessities. You can do this via shopping donation platforms such as Give as You Live.
These platforms are simple to use! You access them before you start shopping, choose Beatson Cancer Charity as your beneficiary, then they will track your purchase and donate a percentage of that shop to the charity. These platforms cost you nothing to go through and you do not pay for the donation.
Having a spring clean? This could be the perfect time for you to finally sort through the clothes you never wear, items around the house you never use or unwanted gifts. By using sites such as Ebay and Vinted to sell items, you can choose to give a percentage of your earnings to Beatson Cancer Charity.
There are also many social media platforms you can raise funds on. Facebook and Instagram now have features that allow you to select a charity to fundraise for and will let your friends/family know who you are fundraising for and why; such as setting up and asking people to donate via Facebook Fundraising on your birthday instead of sending a card. We also recommend you utilise online fundraising tools such as JustGiving, or donate money directly to BCC through our website. For the more technologically minded, there’s also Twitch!
