If you have a good idea for a fundraiser or would like to organise your own event, please get in touch with the NILRF office for advice and support. We always welcome new fundraising ideas! Below are just a few ways that you can get involved in fundraising for the NILRF, either as an individual or as part of a group:

Sporting Events and Challenges

If you feel like a bit of a challenge or are searching for some inspiration to get fit, there are lots of sponsored sporting events you can take part in while raising money for NILRF at the same time. These range from sponsored walks to marathons, triathlons and cycling challenges. Maybe you could put together a relay team to run the Belfast Marathon, like the Haematology Research Group at Queen’s University Belfast? (pictured left).

Or maybe you could take that trip of a lifetime, Trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Climb to base camp at Mt Everest, London to Paris Bike Ride or Dog sledding in Lapland, You are one click away from getting started!

Something more Sedate...and Tasty!

Hold a coffee morning for friends or work colleagues and raise funds for us! You could have your coffee morning at work, in your local community centre or even at home. Why not combine your coffee morning with a book sale or 'nearly new' clothes sale? Contact the NILRF office and we can provide you with posters, pens, key rings and badges to give to your guests.
