FUNDRAISING

There are so many ways for you to get involved and fundraise for Born Free. 

This year we are fundraising for our 'Year of The Lion', a year of action for lions in honour of the 100th birthday year of our charity’s fearless founder and lionheart, Bill Travers MBE. We're calling on the public to help halt the devastating decline in wild lions, campaign for the welfare of lions exploited in zoos, circuses and as ‘pets’ and support our Forever Lions fund.

With our help, it’s easy to raise funds for Born Free! Hold your own event or activity, or challenge yourself with a sporting activity. Every single penny you raise will help Born Free protect wild animals.
