Fundraise for Freedom Charity

Every fundraiser for Freedom Charity helps protect girls and young women, raise awareness of female genital mutilation, forced marriage and other forms of abuse, and support the education that can prevent harm before it happens.

When you fundraise for Freedom Charity, you are not simply raising money for a good cause. You are helping us deliver prevention work in schools, give professionals the tools to spot risk, support those facing abuse, and speak out on issues that are too often hidden behind silence, fear and control.

Our work is about education, prevention and safeguarding. It is about helping children and young people understand their rights. It is about giving teachers, professionals and communities the confidence to act. It is about protecting lives.

Whether you are an individual, a school, a business, a community group or a workplace team, your support can make a real difference.

Why fundraising matters

Freedom Charity relies on fundraising to continue its life-changing work. Every pound helps us:

• raise awareness of FGM, forced marriage and abuse
• deliver education and prevention work in schools
• provide safeguarding resources and practical support
• help professionals understand warning signs and respond safely
• give vulnerable girls and young people a better chance of being heard and protected

Too many children are still at risk. Too many warning signs are missed. Too many lives are shaped by fear, control and harmful abuse carried out behind closed doors. Your fundraising helps us challenge that.

Fundraising ideas

Fundraising for Freedom Charity can be simple, creative and meaningful. You do not need to run a marathon to help us make a difference.

A sponsored silence is especially powerful for our cause. Many of the girls we support have felt unable to speak out, or have been silenced by fear, pressure or control. A sponsored silence is a thoughtful way to reflect that reality while raising vital funds.

A banned word day also works well in schools and workplaces. Choose one everyday word, such as “lunch”, and ask everyone to avoid saying it for the day. Each time someone says the banned word, they put money into a jar. It is simple, memorable and a good way to start conversations about freedom, control and the right to be heard.

Other ideas include bake sales, dress-down days, quiz nights, sponsored walks, workplace fundraising, school awareness days, charity challenges, birthday donations, and company match funding.

Support us as a company, school or organisation

Businesses, schools and organisations can play a major role in preventing abuse and protecting lives.

By supporting Freedom Charity, your organisation can help fund education, prevention and awareness work that reaches children, young people, parents, schools and professionals. Corporate fundraising is not only a strong expression of social responsibility. It can also help start important conversations about safeguarding, equality, dignity and the protection of girls.

Whether you want to name Freedom Charity as your charity of the year, hold a fundraising event, support a campaign, sponsor educational materials or involve your staff in a challenge, we would be proud to work with you.

Every fundraiser helps create change

Fundraising helps us do more than respond to abuse. It helps us prevent it.

It helps us educate before harm takes place.
It helps us raise awareness before warning signs are ignored.
It helps us speak up where silence has caused damage for too long.

If you want to help prevent FGM, challenge forced marriage, support safeguarding education and stand up for girls at risk, fundraising for Freedom Charity is a powerful place to start.

Thank you for helping us protect, educate and prevent.
