Fundraising and volunteering
Fundraising for UCARE is one of the most effective ways of helping us with our work as a charity, especially in these difficult times.
UCARE needs you!
Would you like to be part of a newly-formed fundraising committee?
This could involve helping us with setting up UCARE events and/or organising an event of your own in your community. You all have so many different skills which make you invaluable. This will not only raise essential funds for us, but also helps raise the reach of UCARE and urological cancers with the public. This can save lives by encouraging someone to get checked where early diagnosis is key. Please get in touch at ucare@ucare-oxford.org.uk
We would love to hear from you if you have a fundraising idea, and in the meantime…
Ways you can support us
Virtual Fun*raising for UCARE
Choose to take on a 5km, 10km, Half Marathon (13.1miles) or Marathon (26.2 miles) challenge at whatever pace suits you, in your own time. Run, jog or walk the distance in a day, a week, a month or longer.
All abilities are welcome, whether you’re a seasoned runner or a complete beginner.
Hair-raising fundraising
The one certainty in the recent lockdown has been that our hair keeps growing – many of you will be looking forward to that first visit to the hairdresser or barbers.
Could we ask you to consider donating the equivalent of 10% of your haircut fee, or even what you’ve saved over the past few months? Please send us your before and after photos for us to share online.
Online shopping support for free
Did you know that you could be raising money for us at the same time as doing your online shopping?

Nilay Patel Memorial Fund
After the sudden death in May 2014 of the young, very talented urological surgeon Mr Nilay Patel, we decided to set up a fund in his memory.
