Fundraising Ideas
It's easy to raise essential funds to support local children and adults with brain injuries - by organising a fundraising event. On this page you will find tips and advice for anyone interested in fundraising for Headway Devon.
Make it easy!
Amongst the simplest events to organise are sponsored runs/walks/swims (or whichever sport is your favourite), pub quizzes – with the help of your local landlord and trivia buff regulars, and raffles. Get a small group of friends together and make the event as simple as possible. If you enjoy organising it, it’s much more likely that people will enjoy attending it.

Collection Boxes
We are always looking for local shops and businesses to give a home to our blue collection boxes. The average box is returned to us with £20 inside and many contain even more cash. Every penny stays right here in Devon, helping the people who need it most. Give us a call if you can think of a local shop, school, or workplace which could fill a Headway Devon collection box.
