Kids race

There are lots of ways young people can support the future of our sea by raising money for us. We've come up with ideas to cover every letter of the alphabet (even if we did have to get creative with ZZZZZZZZZZ sleepovers!).

We'd love to hear from you at fundraising@mcsuk.org if you are planning an event so we can offer personalised fundraising support and advice to make the most of your efforts.

Let's put the fun into fundraising
