There are various ways that you can help fundraise for Zest.

Attending one of our events and asking your friends or family to sponsor you is a great way to do something fun and new, whilst raising money for our Zest young adult service.

Alternatively, you could host your own event like a bake sale, charity music night or a clothes swap. Be as creative as you want.

You can also make a direct donation to Zest, which will directly help young adult patients
