Fundraisers

As a volunteer run charity we could not do the work without the help of our fabulous fundraisers who work hard to raise both funds and awareness for IIH UK, while sometimes taking on personal challenges at the same time. See below some of these wonderful people. If you have taken part in a fundraising event and would like it listed here please email fundraising@iih.org.uk and tell us all about it.
