Duvet Days

A Duvet Day is a fundraising event that requires nothing more than spending time under a duvet, which means anyone can join in. There are lots of ways and places to get involved! You can host a Duvet Day from:

• Home
• School
• University
• Work
• and even a local cinema!

This is a collective endeavour to help end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To achieve a goal as grand as ours, we need your support to raise funds that will help this generation of people living with DMD. That’s why we’re asking everyone to host their own Duvet Day.

We’ve made organising your Duvet Day as simple as possible. From easy activities to snacks, we’ve thought of everything – so you don’t have to. Whether it’s a Duvet Day at Home, School, University, or Work, we have:

• Duvet Days Fundraising Guide – your guide to planning and hosting your Duvet Day
• Event Poster – stick it in your window to tell everyone you’re hosting a Duvet Day in aid of Duchenne UK
• Sign-up Form – print off to keep track of any extra donations that boost your total
• Duvet Days bunting – essential decorations for your exciting event
• Do Not Disturb Sign – stay under the covers on your Duvet Day
• Window Sticker – display it proudly to let people know who you’re raising vital funds for

Collection boxes and popcorn holders are also available from your Family and Friends contact, or by emailing [email protected].

You can create a page at JustGiving.com.

Then link it to the Duvet Days JustGiving page!
