Fundraising - Can Do

Be part of Team Can Do!

As a local charity which always faces financial uncertainty, Can Do salutes all those people who have run, swum, walked, danced, baked, car washed, performed or played to raise some much-needed cash to support our work over the years.

Fundraising continues to play an important part of Can Do’s survival, and we welcome any support you can give.

Individuals and small groups can take part in sponsored events and organise local activities to raise some money for us:

We pay entry fees, provide t-shirts and goody bags for organised sponsored events. We are one of affiliated charities for Edinburgh Marathon Festival, Scottish 10K , the Edinburgh Kiltwalk and other Scottish running events.

We can support you with fundraising ideas and publicity – for example a tombola at a Christmas Fair, a bucket collection at your local supermarket, or a bake sale at your child’s school.

To discuss your fundraising idea please contact hello@can-do.scot

We also really welcome support from local businesses.

We organise an annual Can Do Raffle and Fundraiser in October that any local business, big or small, can donate to. Please see our social media for updates or contact us to donate.

You can also support us by:

or spreading the Can Do word with your corporate partners.

We can help local businesses and organisations fundraise for us and we are happy to meet with you and your employees to present about our vibrant local charity, which supports disabled children and young people from across East Lothian.

If you business supports Employee Volunteering, we can provide meaningful and fulfilling volunteering opportunities.
