Get involved
Fundraising for Break the Silence is a powerful way to support survivors of childhood sexual abuse and help our charity continue offering trusted, trauma-informed support.
Whether you take on a challenge, organise an event or simply share your fundraising page, every effort helps us support more survivors, reduce waiting times and protect the continuity of our service.
If you would like to fundraise for us, we would love to hear from you. However you choose to get involved, we can offer support, encouragement and resources to help make your fundraising feel easy to manage and meaningful to you.
Why it matters
Every fundraising challenge helps Break the Silence continue supporting people across East and North Ayrshire. In the 12 months to March 2026, we supported 398 people through 3,278 sessions of counselling.
But funding remains uncertain, and the demand for our services continues to grow, so every marathon, cold water plunge, Kiltwalk or other sponsored event helps us keep offering specialist support for survivors. The difference fundraising makes is real: clients have told us they felt listened to, more confident, and better able to cope after counselling, with 100% saying they would recommend the service to others.
