How you can help

Become a friend

DSUK launched its Make a Million Friends campaign in 2012. For as little as £1, you can become a friend of DSUK, and help us spread the word about our work to support us in continuing to make a difference to thousands of disabled people and their families.

 

Events  

Whether you are taking part in an event through DSUK, or taking part in other events and wish to donate the proceeds to DSUK, you can use fundraising websites to facilitate your fundraising.

DSUK offers a range of events for anyone to take part in - they range from running 5K to trekking to the top of Kilimanjaro. Check our events page and see what rocks your boat!

You can also email our Fundraising Officer for more information.
