FUNDRAISE WITH US
DONATE NOW

Fundraise for the Wren project and support our mission to provide free listening support to people living in distress with autoimmune disease. We welcome all fundraising ideas, whether it’s a sponsored walk, run, cycle, swim, coffee morning or something else. We are here to support you every step of the way on your fundraising journey.

Why fundraising matters

Ways to fundraise

There are many ways to support us, 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, fun runs or marathons

  • established charity events across the UK

  • workplace fundraising or matched giving

  • awareness activities linked to autoimmune conditions

Every penny that we raise allows us to be a crucial lifeline for someone living with autoimmune disease.

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.
