Share your fundraising story
Our fantastic fundraisers have some truly inspiring stories to share. From bake sales to bike rides, marathons to mountain climbs, we are grateful to each and every one of you for your incredible support.
There are lots of reasons why people choose to fundraise for Shout 85258. Some people have texted Shout for support when they were struggling to cope and many know someone else who has. Others have heard about our work from friends and family or may even volunteer for us.
Whatever your reason for fundraising for Shout, sharing your story can be hugely empowering and can encourage those in need of support to reach out. Not to mention, it can also inspire more people to fundraise for us too!
