Bring your family, friends and colleagues together with World Cup fundraising
Get The FIFA World Cup 2026 is set to be the biggest sporting event of the year, bringing together teams, colleagues and communities from across the world. It’s the perfect opportunity to harness the excitement of the tournament and raise vital funds for Mind.
Whether you choose to do a sweepstake or host your own series of football matches, there's something for everyone!
Play on with these fundraising ideas
Host viewing parties for the big matches
Watching the match with friends and family is a great way to get together online or in person. Simply ask for a donation to attend, provide some good snacks, and enjoy watching the games together!
Do a sponsored walk
You could raise money for Mind by walking around your local stadium, or from one stadium to another. You and a friend could swap your football boots for your walking boots and take on the challenge together.
Organise a 5-a-side tournament or match
Why not arrange a fun five-a-side football tournament? You can donate each team’s entrance fee to Mind.
