Individual Fundraising

Do Something Amazing!

Every single time you support Team Jak, you’re making a real difference. Whatever you choose to do to raise funds for us — whether it’s your first 10k, abseiling a skyscraper, climbing Kilimanjaro, or simply hosting a karaoke night — we want you to know how very grateful we are.

Know too that it’s because of individuals like you that we can offer support to children, young people and their families right across Scotland as they navigate the unknown following a childhood cancer diagnosis. 

What does your amazing look like?

Fundraising Ideas

You don’t need a team or fancy setup — just a good idea and a big heart. Here are a few ways individuals have made an impact for Team Jak:

  • Take on a challenge — Run, swim, cycle, climb, or do your own unique endurance event.

  • Celebrate and give — Ask for donations instead of gifts for your birthday, wedding, or anniversary.

  • Make it bold — Brave the shave, dye your hair, or give up something you love.

  • Bake or make — Set up a stall, host a bake sale, or sell your crafts to raise money.

  • Use your voice — Organise a quiz night, karaoke, open mic, or community gathering.

  • Donate regularly — Set up a standing order, or play Jak’s Bonus Ball for a chance to win a cash prize!
  • Save your change — Ask us for a pyramid box and collect your coins for us.
  • Amazon wishlist — Choose something from our Amazon wishlist. Contact us to find out how.
  • Themed appeals — Get involved in our special Glow God, Summer Activities, or at Christmas. 

Whatever your idea, big or small, we’ll cheer you on every step of the way.

Interested in Fundraising?

Fundraising on your own? You’re not alone. Whether you’re running a marathon, shaving your head, or hosting a bake sale, every pound you raise helps us support children and young people with cancer, and their families. No idea is too big or small — and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way with advice, materials, and cheerleading. However you choose to fundraise, your individual efforts will make a lasting difference.
