None of it is possible without you…

Every greyhound deserves a second chance…and you can help make that happen. By becoming a Fundraising Champion, you’ll lead a few events each year in your own community, raising vital funds and awareness for greyhounds and lurchers in need. It’s a fun, flexible way to make a big difference, right from where you are.

What is a Fundraising Champion?

A Fundraising Champion is a passionate volunteer who organises, on average, 3–4 fundraising events per year in their local community. From bake sales to dog-friendly walks, quiz nights to craft fairs…your creativity is your superpower!

Whether you’re an experienced event planner or just love bringing people together, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed.

Why become a Fundraising Champion?
