GET INVOLVED TODAY

We are bringing together world-leading researchers, clinicians and innovators to build the Institute for Medical Innovation and transform the future of research and healthcare.

Community fundraising is a simple way to support this ambitious vision and help make life-changing discoveries possible. Whether you take on a marathon, organise a bake sale, host a charity auction or come up with your own fundraising idea, every contribution can help bring the IMI to life. Getting started is easy, and your fundraising can make you part of a community helping to shape the future of healthcare.

Be at the heart of innovation. Your support will help shape the future of healthcare.

GETTING STARTED

Step 1: Choose your fundraising activity
Pick something you’ll enjoy – from baking and running to hosting an event. Think about your time, budget and who you can involve. Make sure it is achievable and fun.

Step 2: Set up your JustGiving Page
Create and personalise your page with your fundraising story, photos, and an ambitious target. You can share regular updates to keep supporters engaged. Create your page at justgiving.com/campaign/imi and click the “Start fundraising” button.

Step 3: Spread the word
Start with friends, family and colleagues, then share your fundraising page through social media, email, and word of mouth.

Step 4: Get prepared
Make a simple checklist of everything you’ll need, including timings, materials and any volunteer roles. Promote your fundraiser in advance so people know how they can get involved or donate.

Step 5: Have fun!
Enjoy your fundraiser, take photos and share updates. Keep reminding people why you’re fundraising and, most importantly, have fun!

Step 6: Celebrate your achievements and thank your supporters
Share your final total and thank everyone who supported you. We’d also love to hear your story and share it in our communications.
