Organise an Event

It's easy to arrange a fundraising event for the Women's.



Plan an event with your friends, family, school, work colleagues or local community that continues to bring happiness well after the last dance. Nominate a proportion of ticket sales as a donation, ask for donations in lieu of gifts, run a raffle or prize draw or make the Women’s donation envelopes available to guests on arrival. Online ticketing facilities are available via the Women’s website and the Foundation can provide advice and support.

Simply read and complete our Community Fundraising Guidelines and Agreement (word 273kb) and contact the Women's Foundation. There are lots of ways we can help you organise your own event.
