Cyber Security Awareness Month 2026
Help ensure nobody has to face cybercrime alone.
Every year, millions of people are affected by cybercrime, digital fraud, cyberstalking and online harm. Yet many never receive the practical support they need.
This October, your organisation can help change that.
Whether you take on our Cyber Step Challenge, encourage colleagues to Give an Hour, book one of our expert speakers or become a campaign sponsor, you'll be helping more people access free, expert support when they need it.

Your organisation can help raise awareness, engage employees and directly support people recovering from cybercrime.
Four ways to get involved
1. Take on the Cyber Step Challenge
Bring your team together for a month-long walking challenge.
Using the Big Team Challenge platform, teams work together to complete a virtual journey around the world while raising funds for The Cyber Helpline.
Perfect for organisations looking for a fun wellbeing activity with real social impact.
2. Give an Hour
When the clocks go back this October, we're asking supporters to donate the value of one hour.
For some that's an hour's pay.
For others, particularly in professional services, it could be one billable hour.
One hour can help provide expert support to someone experiencing cybercrime or online harm.
Calculate your donation:
Donate your last hour of pay
Work out roughly what you earn per hour, then donate that amount to The Cyber Helpline to help us support victims of cybercrime and online harm.
Full-time in the UK is typically 37.5 hours.
Anything you enter is used only to calculate your donation amount — it isn't stored or sent anywhere. Clicking "Donate" takes you to JustGiving's secure checkout to complete your donation.

Cyber Security Awareness Month is the perfect opportunity to educate and inspire your workforce.
Choose from:
