- Bake sale – Always popular with students, staff, and families.
- Sponsored walk or fun run – Easy to organise on school grounds.
- Talent show or performance – Invite families and add a charity collection.

Fundraise in Celebration
Marking a special occasion – whether it’s a birthday, wedding, anniversary, retirement, or any milestone- is a wonderful way to support the MSA Trust while celebrating with the people you love.
There are lots of meaningful ways to fundraise in celebration:
- Set up a Facebook Fundraiser
- Create a JustGiving page to share your story and invite donations as part of your celebration.
- Ask for donations instead of presents
- Include MSA Trust wedding favours
- Host a celebration event
- Set yourself a personal challenge and inviting others to sponsor you
No matter how you choose to celebrate, your support helps us continue providing vital services for people affected by MSA.
Fundraise at Work
Fundraising at work is a meaningful way for businesses to make a real difference. By supporting the MSA Trust, your organisation can help us provide our life-changing services through Matched Giving, Payroll Giving, selecting us as your Charity of the Year, or by getting involved in fundraising events and challenges. Every contribution, large or small, creates a lasting impact.
