Help us collect

Collections are a fantastic way to raise awareness of Muscular Dystrophy UK within your local community, while raising vital funds to support our work.

Join a collection near you

If you don’t want to set up your own collection, you can join us at one of the collections already scheduled in the calendar.

Each shift is approximately two hours long, but you can adjust the time to suit your availability.

We will provide everything you need to ensure you have a great experience collecting.
