There are lots of ways that everywoman members can help raise vital funds for Refuge. We can each make a huge difference to the women and children who need our help. Here are some ideas:

It's too late to take part on the adidas Women's 5k event - it happened on 7 Sept - but you can still show your support for the 25 women who made up the everywoman Team, by sponsoring their efforts.

If you have any questions, please contact polly@everywoman.com or call 0870 746 1800

Recycle for Refuge
Take part in Refuge’s mobile phone recycling scheme. For every donated phone, Refuge receives £3.50. Perhaps you could set yourself a recycling target and run a campaign in your organisation throughout the year? You could display a Refuge mobile phone ‘barometer’ to show your colleagues how the recycling scheme is progressing.

Challenge yourself and fulfil a lifetime ambition
Feeling adventurous? How about a skydive for Refuge? Raise the minimum sponsorship and the jump won’t cost you a penny! There are over 20 approved parachuting centres all over the country so there is bound to be a centre near you. If you want to go further afield, how about an overseas challenge? Trips include trekking in Peru or China or cycling in Cuba.

Get your workplace involved
Could you and your colleagues support Refuge at work? There are lots of ways to get involved:

• Build team morale by holding an internal challenge event, for example pitch departments against each other in a sports day or hold an office olympics
  
• Organise a pink day – everybody to wear a pink item of clothing to match Refuge’s corporate colours, charge them a pound for the privilege!
  
• Promote payroll giving within your workplace – this enables employees to donate each month from their gross salary, meaning a £10 donation only makes a £7.80 difference to your pay packet! Read more > >

Take part in a Refuge running event
Refuge has spaces available for the London, Berlin & New York Marathons and other events around the UK. They are always looking for runners to welcome to their team and will provide fantastic support every step of the way. As a Refuge runner, you can help make a real difference to the women and children escaping domestic violence.

Organise your own event
Devise and host an event in aid of Refuge. This could be a masked ball, a summer gala, a themed cocktail evening or an auction. Cook a meal and invite your friends – for a price! You could also run a mini-raffle or auction during dinner to provide additional entertainment and raise money. Almost any activity can have a fundraising angle to raise vital funds for our appeal.
