This year, we are aiming to raise £200,000 from the Dash to help disadvantaged older people. We are asking everyone to raise £35 or more in order to smash our fundraising target!

Take your fundraising even further by reading our top 10 tips, we have even designed some simple Fundraising in the workplace. Why not make the most of the sunshine and take your fundraising outside? Our Summer Fundraising tips will give you some ideas to get started.

Where your money goes

Your Leeds Abbey Dash fee only covers the event costs, so we rely on your sponsorship and donations to make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged older people.

This year, proceeds from the Leeds Abbey Dash will fund a HandyVan in the Leeds and West Yorkshire area. HandyVans fit security devices in the homes of isolated older people helping them feel less vulnerable.
