Fundraise for the Wren Project
Help create calm, caring support for people living with autoimmune disease
Living with an autoimmune condition can be emotionally exhausting.
The uncertainty, fluctuating symptoms and fear of being misunderstood can leave many people feeling alone. The Wren Project offers free emotional listening support so adults across the UK have a safe place to talk openly about how they feel.
Our trained volunteers are steady and warm. They do not give advice. They listen. Your fundraising makes this possible.
Why fundraising matters
Ways to fundraise
There are many ways to support Wren, whether you join an organised event, set up a personal challenge or gather friends or colleagues together.
People often choose:
local walks or sponsored challenges
community events such as quizzes, bake sales or coffee mornings
personal fitness challenges including 5K runs or fun runs
established charity events across the UK
workplace fundraising or matched giving
awareness activities linked to autoimmune conditions
Every effort helps someone feel heard.
For many people, autoimmune illness affects far more than physical health. It can shape confidence, relationships, work and everyday routines. People often carry the emotional impact quietly, for fear of burdening others or being misunderstood.
The Wren Project provides regular one to one and group listening sessions where people can speak honestly about what they are experiencing. Your fundraising helps train volunteers, sustain our sessions and ensures people do not have to face these challenges alone.
