Support Daft as a Brush with our fun events, challenges, concerts and more!

Taking part in fundraising events such as Great North Run is a powerful way to support Daft as a Brush Charity, combining personal challenge with meaningful community impact. By running, training, and raising sponsorship, participants help fund vital services that make a real difference to people facing cancer, while also spreading awareness and bringing communities together around a shared cause. These events not only inspire generosity and teamwork but also show how individual effort can translate into compassionate support for those who need it most.

Donate today!

Can’t be part of an event? Consider a small donation!

Donating to the Daft as a Brush charity helps ensure that cancer patients who need transport are able to get to hospital safely and on time.

One-off donation

A single donation of £30 buys enough fuel to power a single cancer patient ambulance for 200 miles. This would cover a single day on the road.

Monthly donation

Regular donations allow the charity to plan ahead, maintain vehicles, cover fuel and insurance costs, and ensure that no patient is left without a safe way to travel for treatment.
