Fundraise for Guts UK

There are lots of ways to champion our cause and raise vital funds for our charity.

Every bake sale, run, or head shave enables us to be there for those with digestive diseases. Every walk, sky-dive or climb takes us one step closer to getting to grips with guts. Whatever you decide to do, thank you.

Georgie and Nikki

Both of Georgie’s parents, Nikki and David, were diagnosed with pancreatitis. Sadly, the family lost David in 2019. After learning about our charity in 2021, they held a beauty sale for us in David’s memory and shared their powerful story as part of our annual Kranky Panky campaign.

Alia, Agnieszka & Cassius

Alia has a condition called achalasia. Her parents, Agnieszka and Cassius, wanted to fundraise Guts UK after the family received vital support from us. They decided to donate a percentage of their sales from their business, Mysticbrews, throughout achalasia awareness month. Find out how you can support Guts UK in your workplace.

After losing his mum to stomach cancer, Dean took on an incredible challenge in her memory. Dean cycled the London to Brighton bike ride to raise funds for Guts UK.
