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.
By fundraising for Zest, you are helping young adults aged 14 upwards with progressive and incurable illnesses to ensure that they get the specialist care, tailored treatment and services they need to be able to enjoy life to the full.

We've had some exciting unique events in the past to raise money for Zest services.
Here are some highlights since we started up Zest in 2015:
From 22 October - 8 November, Zest and local charity GeeWizz benefitted from the Ed Sheeran: Made in Suffolk Legacy Auction. Prizes from the worlds of music, film, sport, hospitality, and art joined forces to raise over £500,000 and create a lasting legacy for children and young adults with disabilities and life limiting illness in Suffolk and across East Anglia.

love all raised money for grassroots and community tennis programmes in the UK and international screening and research into women’s cancers, plus palliative care for young adults with cancer and life limiting illnesses in East Anglia.
The auction featured memorabilia, artworks and unique experiences from the worlds of tennis, sport, music, entertainment, visual arts and hospitality, and ran from 4 -21 November.
In 2018 and 2019, Ed Sheeran donated hundreds of items for two Zest auctions with Bishop & Miller, raising over £80,000.
