1. DONATE
Text MDUK1 to 70660 to donate £5. Call 0300 012 0172. Our JustGiving page.
2. FUNDRAISE
Our Lockdown Fundraisers provide ideas for virtual fundraising from the safety of your own home.
3. SHARE
Send your stories, photos and videos of you at home. You could be raising funds from your kitchen, garden or driveway. You could be volunteering or working for us at home. Or just show us a moment of happiness with you, your family and pets.
Simple steps to sharing
Take a picture or a video of you and your loved ones helping MDUK in lockdown, with a few words to describe the story behind them. Upload them with this simple form OR you can post on our Facebook page. Take photos and shoot videos in good light, in landscape format for online use, and as high-quality as you can. Leave plenty of room around the edge of photos if we need to crop them. Take a picture or video of you and your loved ones helping MDUK in lockdown, with a few words to describe the story behind them.
