There are lots of ways to get involved! The simplest being a donation ... any money you send helps us continue our vital work and helps funds of one of the many projects we support that improve the lives of Tibetans both inside Tibet and in exile.
Or you may want to involve yourself more closely in the life of a Tibetan, by becoming a sponsor and supporting a Tibetan child through school or university. More details can be found here or email our sponsorship co-ordinator here.
And you can always support us through our Enlightened Gifts range that include great greeting cards, Tibetan herbal products, virtual gifts you can give friends and colleagues that raise awareness of our work and lots of other gifts that both help support Tibet Relief Fund and Tibetan run enteprises and projects in India.
If you would like to be sent raffle books to buy or sell, please email katie@tibetrelieffund.co.uk
You can devise your own activity for Tibet from a concert to a coffee morning; take part in one of our sponsored events or create your own; fundraise online from your armchair using Justgiving, Everyclick or Ebay; get your company, club or your (children's) school on board; or attend one of our special events. Or you may have great new ideas of your own, which we would be delighted to hear about and support!
You can either choose to raise funds for a project you especially like, or help us build up our general funds that can then be used to best advantage such as supporting an emergency appeal, providing funds to set up a vital new initiative or helping in more forgotten or sidelined areas of need.

Currently we have two special sponsored events you can sign up to take part in: a 10k London run on Sunday 11th July or a mass tandem skydive on Saturday 25th September.
On 11th July 2010 six Tibet Relief Fund supporters ran the Asics British 10k London run through the streets of London, raising vital funds for our work. Our sincere thanks to Zita, Balazs, Pavel, Sophie, Tsephel and Katie. who carried or wore large Tibetan flags for the whole distance, providing a Tibetan show amongst the 20,000 other runners on the day.
We have six places available in the Asics 10k London Run in July 2011 if you would like to be a part of this great experience. If you order your information pack now, you'll have plenty of time to start raising sponsorship money! You can grab a friend or relative to join you and make a day of it – as you soak up the atmosphere running, walking or jogging the 10k past London’s top tourist attractions, through cheering crowds, waving your Tibetan flag! You don’t need any experience running or fundraising – we’ll provide you with all the help you need to raise the minimum sponsorship; as well as training tips, a Tibet Relief Fund t-shirt, Tibetan flags to wave, fancy dress ideas, and an after-run Tibetan picnic... plus all the encouragement you need!
And if 10k sounds a little too easy for an athlete like you, why not run a marathon for Tibet Relief Fund? We have not been able to secure a place in the London Marathon until 2012, but you may still be able to run for us in the 2011 London Marathon. Applications for a 1 in 5 chance of securing a place in the 2011 London Marathon are available via their website: www.virginlondonmarathon.com - simply apply for a place in their ballot - with a 1 in 5 chance of success! The results are drawn in October and if you have been successful you can choose to run for Tibet Relief Fund (or any other charity you wish).
There are also plenty of marathons and other races around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world which we would very happily welcome you participating in for Tibet Relief Fund!
Please email us or call our office on 020 7272 1414 for an Asics 10k information and application pack, or details on these or other running events.
