Fundraise for us

Every pound you raise helps create safe spaces, trusted support, and life-changing opportunities for children and young people with additional needs—and their families. Demand for JIGSAW’s services has grown by 78% in the last two years, with hundreds of families relying on us for connection, inclusion, and belonging at a time when funding is increasingly uncertain.

Your fundraising has real, measurable impact. It helps us deliver hundreds of events each year, support our inspirational youth volunteers who give back to their community, and ensure families can continue to find friendship, confidence, and joy through JIGSAW. When you fundraise for us, you’re not just supporting our work—you’re empowering young people to change lives, including their own.

Below are four simple ways you can get involved and make a difference.

👉 Sign up today by completing our online fundraising registration form. Once you’re in, we’ll send you a fundraising pack full of helpful resources and inspiration.
