Shine makes it personal by letting choose which cancer you want to beat with the funds you raise. Choose where your money goes and fundraise for that area of our work.

Get sponsored online

Start your fundraising journey by setting up an online fundraising page if you didn't set one up when you registered for your Shine event. It will only take a few minutes, it’s really simple and the money you raise could help save many lives.

Shine sponsorship form

You can also collect sponsorship money in person with a paper sponsorship form (PDF 206KB) if you prefer.

Gift Aid it

Make sure to ask all your friends and family to tick the Gift Aid box if they are a UK taxpayer. Gift Aid allows us to claim at least 25p for every pound you raise, at no extra cost to you or your sponsors.
