Community Groups

There are several ways your community group can fundraise for myaware. If you are interested in hosting a fundraising event, please make sure you visit our Create your own event page for ideas and further information.

Volunteering is extremely important to myaware and we are always grateful for any groups who can volunteer at one-off or multiple events. Please see below for more details about how your community group can volunteer to support people living with myasthenia.
