June 2026 fundraising highlights

A huge thank you to everyone who planned fundraisers, events, collections, car washes and so much more this month.

Our supporters proved there was no mountain high enough or walk long enough this month as they took on fundraising challenges, planned community events and raised thousands of pounds in aid of us.

Thank you to all those involved – you’re making such a difference.

Among them was our very own Company Member, Graham Caley, who took on an epic 5K swim, while Paul Stoneman – whose story we shared here – completed an incredibly powerful tribute fundraiser, in memory of his son, Kieran.

And Andy Buttery collected some incredible memorabilia from members of Staffordshire FRS’ retired network, all to raise funds through the sale of the items over the coming months, which you can see below.

If you’re feeling inspired to organise your own fundraising challenge or event, you’ll find everything you need to get started via the button below.
