How to get involved
1. Spread the Word
Congenital heart disease is much more common that
people think and most cases are not
detected before birth, despite the many benefits.
Help us to improve the care of babies born with
heart disease. Spread the word and help more "heart babies" to
have a better start in life.
2. Join in ....
 Although our work is serious, we believe that
fundraising should be fun.
Friends of the charity come from all walks
of life with the common purpose of wanting to help
babies
with heart disease.
In the past, friends have walked, marched, run, sung, danced, diced, shopped,
wined and dined, raffled, auctioned and partied
to raise money and raise awareness.
Events range from poems, story evenings, pop-idol contests, wine-tasting, jazz & dance events
and our bi-annual
charity Ball.
Future events are posted on the News and Events
pages.
If you have fundraising ideas please contact us.
If you are affected by congenital heart disease
and would like to share your experiences, please
email us. You can also join us on
Facebook
Whatever you do - join us - and help reduce
the impact of heart disease on babies before they are born.
3. Fundraising standards
We support the
Fundraising
Standards Boards initiative to improve the standards of charity
fundraising in the UK.
We are not members (as we are a small charity and
there is a fee to be a member of the FSB), but we pledge to follow
their code of conduct.
Any concerns about our fundraising can be raised
with us, the FSB or the Charity Commission.
4. Challenge yourself (Online
Sponsorship)
1.
Create your Challenge: a
challenge can be anything - your favourite (or least favourite)
sport or activity, a dinner/dance,
a coffee morning, afternoon tea, a
pub quiz ...
(visit our
events pages for ideas & inspiration).
2.
Create
your
Online Sponsorship Page to publicise your event,
set a target
and allow people
to support you online.
Note:
please register, enter your event and personalise it
with details about
yourself and why you are taking up the challenge.
See:
http://echo.workwithus.org
3.
Ask for help: tell friends, relatives and colleagues and ask for
support - most people are very helpful and just waiting to be asked.
4.
Contact us by email to tell us about your
event.
We will help in any way we can
