Fundraise

Every pound you raise helps us provide vital support for LGBTQ+ people in Scotland.

Why your support matters

LGBTQ+ people in Scotland continue to face higher rates of poor mental and physical health.

Many experience depression, anxiety, stress, discrimination, and isolation, with nearly two in five people saying they always feel lonely.

We’re here to respond to these challenges with care. We provide supportive, affirming services, create welcoming community spaces, and advocate for better health and equality for our community. With your support, we can reach even more people and help LGBTQ+ communities across Scotland feel safer, more connected, and able to thrive.

How to fundraise?

Whether that’s fundraising with your family, friends or colleagues, taking part in a sponsored event, setting up a fundraising page or running a giveaway on social media, there are lots of creative ways you can get involved to support our work.

Here are some of our top fundraising ideas:

If you sign up for an event, or would like any support in your fundraising efforts, get in touch with our team fundraising@lgbthealth.org.uk who is here to help.

Pub quiz? Drag Bingo? Office Cake Sale? There is no limit to the creative ways our amazing community has fundraised for us, and we are here to support you the whole way. From our simple online giving page to our handy ‘in aid of’ logo, we can give you the tools to make fundraising simple so you don’t miss out on the fun!

Fundraising is more fun with colleagues and friends so why not get your office involved in raising funds together? The sky is the limit, so feel free to get in touch with your ideas and we will support you however we can.

Set up your branded fundraising page on JustGiving to make donating easy, and remember that many people continue to donate after you activity or event, so don’t be shy to share it on your socials!

When celebrating an important event in your life, you may want to make a positive difference to our work by asking friends and family give a donation rather than a gift. Please set up a page on our JustGiving profile page to make giving easier.

If you are on Facebook you could setup a birthday fundraiser in support of us. It’s very easy to start and your friends can donate in just a few clicks. No fees are charged so whatever your raise, we receive the full amount.

You can also setup a charity fundraiser on Instagram.

Keep someone’s memory alive by supporting a cause that mattered to them. You can direct people to our JustGiving page or setup a fundraising page of your own with a personal message.

In making a will, the people important to you will naturally come first. However, many people also like to take the time to think about remembering a charity or cause that they supported during their lifetime, or one that might have had a personal impact on them or someone they love.

It might be that a charity such as ours has helped you personally and you would like us to continue providing the same kind of help to others in the future. Or it could simply be because the services that we deliver are important to your community.
