Support us
Every experience we fund exists because somebody helped.
We are a young charity, and we would rather be useful than impressive.
There are four ways to help, and money is only one of them. If you have tickets, a table, a room, a skill or a network, that is often worth more to a family than the cash equivalent.
Fundraise for us
A run, a ride, a quiz night, a milestone birthday where you ask for donations instead of presents. We will support you with whatever you need to make it work.
Partner with us
Clubs, venues, restaurants, hotels and businesses who can offer access, hospitality or in-kind support. One phone call from the right person can make an entire experience possible.
Give us your expertise
Legal, accountancy, travel, events, safeguarding, marketing. Professional time given free goes further for us than almost any donation, because it is the thing a small charity cannot buy.
Donations
We are not taking donations yet — and that is deliberate.
Living Not Existing is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1218165. Registration is the first step, not the last one — until our banking, financial controls and Gift Aid arrangements are fully in place, we are not asking the public for money.
We would rather open a little late with everything in order than take a single pound before we can account for it properly. When donations do open, this page will carry the details and a clear statement of where the money goes.
In the meantime, the most valuable things you can give us are access, expertise and introductions.
For businesses
What a partnership actually looks like.
We are not looking for a logo on a banner. We are looking for the things that turn a wish into a day someone’s family will talk about for years.
Access
Tickets, boxes, tables, rooms and behind-the-scenes moments that money often cannot buy at short notice.
Flexibility
The willingness to move a booking at a day’s notice when someone is too unwell to travel — the single most useful thing a partner can offer.
Discretion
Looking after a family quietly and well, without making them the centre of attention unless that is what they want.
Longevity
A relationship we can rely on year after year, rather than a one-off gesture. Predictability lets us say yes to people faster.
