Fundraising Opportunities
You can help to raise valuable funds to support us in our efforts to protect and conserve endangered species in regions across the world.   Please contact us to discuss any ideas you have  – in the meantime,  here are a few suggestions:  sponsored swims or haircuts, sales of greetings cards, handicrafts or cakes and sweets.  Energetic pursuits could include mountain or hill climbing, whilst fun events could include golf days, karaoke sessions, masked balls or quiz nights.

We also have several organised events, including fun runs and marathons as well as an opportunity to take to the skies:
   

Adidas Women’s Challenge - September 2009 

This is the country's premier 5k women's road running event with an estimated 30,000 women taking part in Hyde Park, London, City Centre Birmingham and Sefton Park, Liverpool. This fun and friendly event is open to women of all ages to run, jog, walk or even enjoy a gentle stroll, accompanied by buggies or pushchairs! It's only £15.00 to enter, of which £5.00 is received by FOC, so you are already supporting us before you start!
