Fundraise for STAND

Fundraising is a powerful way to support STAND’s mission of helping neurodivergent children, young people, and their families across East Lothian. Every event, challenge, or sponsored activity not only raises vital funds but also helps spread awareness of the importance of inclusion, empowerment, and support.

There are so many ways you can get involved — from hosting a coffee morning, bake sale, or quiz night, to taking on a sponsored walk, run, or cycle. Some of our supporters join organised events like the Kiltwalk as part of #TeamSTAND, while others create their own challenges. Big or small, every effort makes a meaningful difference to the families we support.

When you fundraise for STAND, you’re helping us deliver projects such as our Stay & Play sessions, ASN Rugby and Sensory Sessions, our Fresh Start Cleaning Project, and our peer support groups that now connect over 800 families. Your efforts help reduce isolation, provide safe and inclusive spaces, and give parents the tools they need to advocate for their children.

There are so many fun and creative ways to get involved:

🏃 Take part in a sponsored walk, run, or cycle
🧁 Host a bake sale or coffee morning
🎲 Organise a quiz night, raffle, or tombola
🎽 Join a local challenge like the Kiltwalk as part of #TeamSTAND

Whether big or small, every effort makes a real difference.
