From coffee mornings, garden fetes to fashion shows, quiz nights to sky diving, there’s something for everyone. Have a look at our gallery photos to see what’s been going on recently, and then take a look at our Forthcoming Events to see what’s coming up. It’s easier than you think to arrange a fund raiser for Leaf, its lots of fun and a great way to make new friends, face new challenges, learn new skills, and it looks great on your CV!
We would love to hear from you email whether you can spare an hour or two or would be up for the challenge of taking on your own project or fundraising event? Your ideas and suggestions are most welcome
Events are a great opportunity for you to support Leaf and help us raise some much needed funds. There are always lots of events in the pipeline – you could help us by helping to promote them and inviting all your friends, family and work colleagues, coming along yourself, or helping out and volunteering.
‘Adopt a Tin’ Collecting tins are a simple yet effective way to not only raise money but also raise awareness of our work. We are looking for local business to support Leaf by ‘adopting a tin’ a local business can help us raise essential funds by placing one of our branded collection tins at their till point. On average these tins bring in £20 a month in small change. If 20 companies have 1 tin that’s a total of £4800 per year for local blood cancer patients. Could you help find a home for 5 tins please?
Raffle and auction prizes, perhaps you could source some prizes for Leaf, or if you have a service that others can benefit from or would like to donate an item for one of the many raffles and auctions that take place each year please email
