Ask how to donate →Plan a fundraiser
A sponsored walk, a bake sale, a club challenge or a workplace collection can help build the funds available for family support. Start by choosing an activity, a realistic target and a date. Email us with your plan, organiser’s contact details and any support you would like from the charity.
Please contact us before using our name or logo or making commitments on our behalf. We can discuss how your fundraiser relates to our work and how the proceeds will reach the charity. If your idea involves a raffle, public collection or another activity with special rules, discuss it with us before advertising it.
Work with us
Businesses, schools, clubs and community groups can ask about a fundraising event, a charity partnership or support for an approved activity. Tell us what you would like to contribute, the timescale and whether you have a particular project in mind. We will discuss what is practical during our Scotland pilot before making any commitment.
What your support helps fund
Charitable funds help us consider requests for practical items, travel, inclusion activities and family experiences linked to a child’s rare disease. Awards depend on eligibility, available funds and trustee approval. We normally pay an approved provider directly and manage conflicts of interest when making decisions.
We are building our first Scotland pilot. We will share verified updates as the work develops, while respecting families’ privacy. Families do not have to take part in publicity to receive support.
Arrange a donation
To donate, email info@hereandnowcharity.com and ask for the current donation arrangements. If you want to support a specific purpose, discuss this with us before sending funds so we can confirm whether we can accept that restriction. This website currently does not take online payments.
