Help Us Reach Further: Could Your Workplace, School or College Support the Fragile X Society?

As a small charity making a big impact, the Fragile X Society relies on the generosity and creativity of our community to keep vital support, awareness and research going strong. One of the most powerful ways you can help is by introducing us to new supporters – starting with your own workplace, school, college, or community group.

Many organisations are looking for a good cause to support – whether it’s through fundraising events, selecting a Charity of the Year, holding dress-down days, hosting bake sales, or taking on sponsored challenges. Your connection to Fragile X makes it real and meaningful – and that personal link is what inspires people to get involved.

Schools & Colleges – Could your child’s school hold a sponsored walk, non-uniform day, or run a cake sale for Fragile X Awareness? It’s a great opportunity to start conversations about inclusion and neurodiversity too.

Workplaces – Many employers actively support charities through matched funding, employee-nominated Charity of the Year schemes, or organising events like quiz nights, raffles, or fitness challenges. Some even offer volunteering time or payroll giving schemes.

Clubs & Groups – Do you belong to a local running club, church group, Masonic Lodge or hobby class? Why not suggest a fun fundraiser or collection to support families living with Fragile X?

Every connection can open a door. Your voice could lead to a new partnership, raise awareness in your community, and help us reach more families who need our support.

If you’d like a fundraising pack, some leaflets or a presentation to share with your workplace or group, we’re here to help! Email info@fragilex.org.uk or call us on 01371 875100.

Together, we can make Fragile X better understood, better supported – and better funded.

Thank you so much for being part of our community
