Fundraise for Brighton & Hove Care Leavers Christmas Dinner 2026

🧚🏼‍♂️ 50 Fairies in 50 Days 🧚🏼‍♂️

50 Fairies. £50 each. £2,500 together!

We need 50 Fundraising Fairies. Could one of them be you? ✨

This Christmas, care experienced young people and people across Brighton & Hove are coming together to create the Brighton & Hove Care Leavers Xmas Dinner 2026.

And our Head Fairy has a mission:

Find 50 Fairies in 50 days. And if you have a fairy team, bring extra team sparkle! ✨

Each Fairy has one simple challenge:

Raise £50. However you fancy.

Run. Bake. Swim. Sing. Sell something. Hold a quiz. Ask ten mates for a fiver. Do something wonderfully ridiculous.

Because...

🧚🏼‍♂️ 50 Fairies × £50 = £2,500 ✨

Small acts of magic become something much bigger when we make them together.

🪄 Our Fairy Community 🧚🏼‍♂️

Fairies found: 1 / 50

Magic raised: £____ / £2,500

We'll introduce some of our Fairies and Fairy teams and their wonderfully inventive challenges along the way in our image carousel below and on Instagram.

Some might share their stories with full glitter.

Others may prefer to flutter quietly beneath the radar.

Both are very welcome.

✨ How does it work? 🧚🏼‍♂️

🧚🏼‍♂️ Join

Become one of our 50 Fairies.

💡 Choose your magic

Find your own way to raise £50.

💷 Raise

Share your challenge with friends, family, neighbours or colleagues.

❤️ Bring it together

Your fundraising joins all the other Fairies' in our collective £2,500 pot.

That's it. No fundraising experience or wings required.

Although wings are very welcome 🧚🏼‍♂️

✨ £50 is our shared invitation, not a pass or fail.

If you raise £23, that £23 joins the collective.

If you unexpectedly raise £83, wonderful.

And if your cake sale somehow becomes a Brighton-wide baking phenomenon and raises £500, we'll probably ask whether you'd like to become Head Fairy next year!

What matters is that 50 people choose to do one small thing together.
