Cancer Prevention Charity: World Cancer Research Fund WCRF
Stopping cancer before it starts

Individuals

Fruity Friday is an annual campaign by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK). It’s easy to take part and make a difference – simply wear something yellow and make a donation of £2 to support WCRF UK's vital cancer prevention research and education programmes.

Three simple steps to Go Bananas

1. Promote your event
Write your event details on a fundraising poster and display it somewhere prominent, to let people know what you are organising. Download our essential fundraising pack and other exclusive online resources to help you plan your event.

Make sure to register your event with us so we know what banana-tastic things you have planned.

2. Find something yellow to wear
Order yellow items from the shop to help you all Go Bananas.

3. Go Bananas it’s Fruity Friday
Wear yellow and have fun. Collect £2 donation from people taking part using our collection box template and ask them to complete a sponsorship form as WCRF UK can claim back the tax on every sponsorship donation and receive an extra 56p on top of every £2 donated at no extra cost to you!

Here are some ideas for the day:

Fruit cocktail party

This is a great way to be healthy and sociable at the same time, without a drop of alcohol! Invite your friends and family round and ask each guest to make a small donation to WCRF UK in return for a tasty virgin fruit cocktail or fruit smoothie.

Bake a fruity treat

Have fun making healthy treats and cakes containing fruit, like raisin scones and banana and date muffins. Then you can sell these to your friends and family, or colleagues at work, on behalf of WCRF UK. Visit WCRF UK's recipe section for more ideas and inspiration.

Buy or sell on eBay

Buy or sell on eBay and raise money for WCRF UK. With eBay for Charity you can now clean out your closet or get rid of any unwanted gifts and raise some cash for WCRF UK. Visit WCRF UK's eBay for Charity page to find out more.
