So we can keep supporting young people with cancer, and their families.
How you can support us
Think up your own adventure
From abseiling to head shaving, bake sales to glamorous balls, golf days to boxing, the sky really is the limit, like the fab four from Flint who climbed Kilimanjaro in 2024.
Volunteer or become an ambassador
Help at events, on fundraising days and with our yearly appeals, or represent the charity as an ambassador and have a say in what we do.
Charity challenges
Take on the TCS London Marathon
We have two charity places in the London Marathon every year, from 2026 to 2029. Our places for 2026 are filled. If you would like to be considered for a future year, please get in touch.
Through our partnership with Run For Charity, we also have access to a wealth of national and international races and challenges at subsidised rates. Contact us if you have your eye on an event and are looking for a charity place.
Our small charity is growing
Ambassadors and volunteers
We are always looking for ambassadors to join our growing team. As an ambassador you will support young people facing cancer through events, fundraising, outreach and networking. It is a flexible role that fits around your own commitments, and you will develop skills that carry you forward.
Fancy helping out from time to time? Whether it is packing bags, stewarding at events, baking for a bake sale, helping with our Christmas appeal, or big events like Rock for Giddo and Giddo’s Golf Day, we would love to have you. Or maybe you have your own fundraising idea and just want to do your thing. That is amazing too!
For more information, email hello@giddosgift.com or text or call 07596 787953.
