Fundraise your way
Fundraising is a fun and creative way to make a big impact. By creating and hosting your own fundraising event, you can raise crucial funds to help us create a healthier community. The beauty of donating to IHMRI is that we put the control back into your hands, ensuring your fundraising efforts go on to support a cause that you champion. Have an idea for an event? We would love to hear from you! By running your own event, you can involve your family, friends and colleagues whilst raising awareness around the illness or disease close to your heart. In addition to this, you will receive support and guidance from IHMRI’s fundraising team.

Peer to peer
Do you have an area of research that you are passionate about – such as cancer research or Parkinson’s? Or do you know someone who is living with an illness or disease that you want to honour and advance research into this field for? Rally your network and set up your own online fundraising page, it’s really simple to do and is very effective in reaching your goal.
In memory
Pay tribute to your loved one in a meaningful way, by asking their loved ones to give a gift in memory. Ask friends and family to leave a gift in lieu of flowers at a funeral or memorial or set up a donation page online for people to share memories of your lost loved one while donating to research.
