Can you take on a challenge to help us raise vital funds for victims and survivors of cybercrime & online harm?

Millions of victims of cybercrime suffer every year and have no access to expert help. The result is a dramatic impact on mental health, online confidence, personal safety and financial loss. You can help by taking on a challenge and raise funds that enable us to run our service in the UK and US.

CREATE a fundraiser

We rely on your generosity to keep our lifeline open and protect vulnerable individuals and families. Every donation counts.

 

You design the challenge, we provide the support

You can take on any challenge you want! Once you know what you want to do set up your own dedicated fundraising page on JustGiving. Your new fundraising page will automatically contribute to our charity.

Individuals and companies can take part: You can fundraise on your own or organisations can set up a team challenge and fundraise together. If you are an organisation and you would like to discuss a team challenge then please contact us here. We may be able to work with your marketing team to promote and set up dedicated company fundraising pages.
