Supporting a charity doesn’t always mean making a financial donation.
At RUSH 2The DEN, we’re incredibly grateful for every penny we receive, but we know that not everyone is in a position to give money. The good news is that there are plenty of other ways you can make a real difference.
Sometimes, your time, skills, or even a simple social media share can be just as valuable.
Here are 19 completely free ways you can support RUSH 2The DEN.
1. Share Our Social Media Posts
One click could help us reach someone who needs our support or someone who wants to help.
Every share introduces RUSH 2The DEN to a whole new audience.
2. Tell Your Friends and Family About Us
Word of mouth is one of the most powerful ways charities grow.
If you’ve had a positive experience with RUSH 2The DEN, tell others. Personal recommendations mean so much.
3. Recommend Our Services

You never know whose life you could change simply by passing on our details.
4. Leave Us a Facebook Recommendation
Positive reviews help build trust and reassure people who may be considering contacting us for the first time.
If we’ve helped you, we’d love to hear about your experience.
5. Invite People to Like Our Facebook Page
Many people don’t realise Facebook lets you invite friends to follow a page.
It only takes a few minutes and helps us reach more local people.

Following, liking and engaging with our posts helps social media algorithms show our content to more people.
Even a quick reaction or comment makes a difference.
At the moment, you can find us on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
7. Volunteer Your Time
Whether you can spare an hour each month or help at a one-off event, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
Every pair of helping hands is appreciated.
8. Offer Your Skills
Are you a photographer, graphic designer, accountant, gardener, baker, entertainer or DIY expert?
Professional skills can save charities thousands of pounds every year.
9. Donate Raffle or Tombola Prizes
If you own a business or have unwanted new items at home, they could become fantastic prizes for one of our fundraising events.
10. Ask Your Employer to Support Us
Many businesses are looking for local charities to support.
Your workplace might be able to sponsor an event, make a donation, or organise a fundraising day.
11. Organise a Fundraiser
Coffee mornings, bake sales, quiz nights, sponsored walks and dress-down days are all brilliant ways to raise awareness and support.
Better still – they’re great fun too!
12. Vote for Us in Community Competitions
Many supermarkets, banks and national retailers run competitions where the public vote for local charities to receive funding.
Keeping an eye out for these opportunities and casting your vote when RUSH 2The DEN is nominated takes only a moment, but it could help us secure hundreds or even thousands of pounds for our services.
Every vote really does count.
13. Donate Unwanted Craft Supplies
Leftover wool, fabric, paints, beads, ribbons and other craft materials can often be put to good use in our activities.
Before throwing them away, ask if we can use them.

Real stories have a powerful impact.

Do you know a business owner?
A simple introduction could lead to sponsorship, donations, volunteer days or long-term partnerships.

Libraries, cafés, GP surgeries and community centres are all great places.
17. Keep an Eye Out for Funding Opportunities
Many people come across grant schemes, community awards or fundraising opportunities through work or local organisations.
If you spot one, let us know.
18. Attend Our Events
Coming along to our events helps create a welcoming atmosphere, supports our fundraising efforts and helps spread the word within the community.
Bring a friend while you’re at it!
19. Simply Be Our Cheerleader
Sometimes the greatest support is simply believing in what we do.
Liking posts, encouraging others, celebrating our successes and helping spread positivity keeps our community growing.
Never underestimate how much that means.
Every Act of Kindness Counts
Supporting RUSH 2The DEN isn’t measured by the size of a donation.
It’s measured by people coming together to build a stronger, kinder community.
Whether you volunteer for an afternoon, share one Facebook post, recommend us to a friend or simply cheer us on from the sidelines, you’re helping us reach more people who need support.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re making a difference.
