TAKE ON A CHALLENGE
Muscle Warriors are famous for putting their body on the line to raise money for Muscle Dreams.
Often they achieve personal goals by taking on unique and extraordinary physical challenges to help make children with Muscular Dystrophy’s dreams a reality.
Some of our Muscle Warriors have chartered the North and South Pole, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, cycled from Geneva to Avignon, and run eight miles over a wintry army testing track in Aldershot.
Get involved in our upcoming events, or get in touch if you have your own sponsorship challenge you would like us to endorse.

CORPORATE INVOLVEMENT
Your support would make a significant contribution to the growth of a small national family charity.
The private sector is uniquely positioned to support our mission and the Muscle Help Foundation is open to fundraising and volunteer partnerships with reputable companies.
Nominate us as your charity of the year, put forward your employees to become Muscle Warriors, or sponsor our events. Your support could be invaluable, so if you are inspired by our work, get in touch.
PAYROLL GIVING
A regular donation through your salary is one of the best ways for you to help our charity. People who receive their company/personal pension through PAYE can participate too.
If you would like to make a weekly or monthly donation, all you have to do is sign up here.
Payroll Giving allows you to give to charity direct from your salary before tax is deducted. This means if you give £10 a month to The Muscle Help Foundation and are a basic rate taxpayer, the gift will only cost you £8 from your net pay. If you pay a higher rate of tax, £10 a month will only cost you £6 from your net pay but The Muscle Help Foundation will still receive £10.
Payroll Giving is one of the most simple and tax-efficient ways that employees can donate to charity. As your donation is made pre-tax, we don’t have to go back and reclaim it as Gift Aid which saves us valuable time. If you pay tax at 40% or 50% it’s the only way we automatically receive all the tax on your donation.
Setting up a Payroll Giving scheme is a great way for companies to show commitment to the causes their staff really care about. It is quick to set up and administer. In the UK over 10,000 employers operate the scheme.
