Support an event
The difference you can make
Blackpool Carers holds a variety of fundraising, social and awareness raising events throughout the year, including Psychic and Ladies Nights, Garden Parties, Wakepark Wipeout, sponsored sporting events and our prestigious annual fundraising Ball.
Our next major fundraising event is the Castle to Castle Cycle Ride on 4-7 August 2021…are you up for the challenge?
We rely on the kindness of businesses, organisations, groups and individuals like you to support our events and help us raise essential funds to ensure we can provide the free support and respite activities for carers, to allow them to continue to carry out their vital caring role for their loved ones.
With a little help from a lot of people, we support over 4,500 local carers each year.

There are many ways you can offer support:
- Attend an event

- Donate a prize for a raffle or auction
- Donate your services or time
- Provide pro bono support
- Volunteer at an event
- Share the event on social media or display a poster to promote the event
