At home, work or school, we’ve got you covered for ideas on how to raise money for Julia’s House. 
If you’re taking on an exercise challenge, don’t forget to build up your fitness gradually and seek the advice of your GP if you’re in any doubt about your fitness levels.

  1. Get sponsored to give your favourite thing up for a day, a week or a month.  Do you love gaming, social media, chocolate, coffee, wine? Would you be prepared to go without one of these to raise funds for Julia’s House?
  2. Remember someone special with one of our beautiful Forever Butterflies.
  3. Sign up as one of our regular givers.
  4. Grab your friends or colleagues to take on a big challenge – sign up for our skydive, go wing walking, take on the Ten Tors.
  5. Bake and sell cakes at school, to friends, at work or in your community group.
  6. Could you volunteer for us? 
  7. Show your support by leaving us a gift in your Will - a gift of 1% can make 100% difference to overwhelmed parents.
