Fundraising Tips & Ideas

Your Blue Light Walk is not just about raising awareness – it’s also a chance to raise funds for Mesothelioma UK. Here are some simple ways to boost your fundraising:

  • Set up a JustGiving page and share why you’re walking.
  • Ask friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor you.
  • Host a post-walk coffee morning or bake sale to boost your total.
  • Do a step challenge leading up to the event and get sponsored per mile walked.

Take a look at our Action Mesothelioma Day Fundraising Pack for more tips and ideas. Every pound you raise helps us provide support, research, and specialist nurses for those affected by mesothelioma.

Other ways to support

Light up blue on social media

We have put together a downloadable pack of images which can be shared on social media to digitally ‘light up blue’ and shine a light on some of the stats concerning asbestos and mesothelioma.

Suggested steps:

  • Download the images you’d like to use
  • Share images on your social media
  • Change your profile photo/cover photo on Action Mesothelioma Day
  • Use the following hashtags #goblueformeso #AMD2026 #asbestosawareness
Building illumination

We are continuing the successful tradition of illuminating landmarks, homes, and local spaces in blue to raise awareness of mesothelioma and asbestos, and to remind everyone of the ongoing fight against the disease. Find an illumination request letter template below.

If you have confirmation of a building illumination or will be lighting up your home/office/community building do let us know ahead of AMD so we can keep a record of all of the buildings supporting the day!

Share pictures with us and use the hashtags #goblueformeso #AMD2026 #asbestosawareness
