Grow Your Dough

Join us for Grow Your Dough 2026!

What is it?

Grow Your Dough is a fun, creative fundraising challenge where teams receive a starter donation of £50 and see how much they can grow it! Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with colleagues, family or friends, you’ll have three months to raise as much as you can — with prizes for the most money raised, the most inventive ideas, community spirit and dedication.

There’s no limit to what you can do (as long as it’s legal!). From bake sales to quiz nights or wild new ideas, we’re here to help — we’ve got poster templates and you can use our charity logo too. This is your chance to get creative, have fun and make a real difference for patients and staff at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.

Why take part?

Every penny you raise helps enhance care and support for patients, families and staff across our hospitals. No idea is too small — together, your efforts make a big impact.

When is it?

Grow Your Dough 2026 runs from 1 April to 30 June. We’ll kick off with a launch event where you can get inspired and swap ideas, and wrap up with a celebration and awards evening to crown our winners!

What’s up for grabs?

Teams can compete for four Grow Your Dough trophies:
🏆 Most ‘dough’ raised
🏆 Best community engagement
🏆 Most creative fundraising
🏆 Most dedicated team
🏆 The ‘Grow Your Dough’ Award – This special recognition award celebrates the team that truly embodies the spirit of the Grow Your Dough challenge.
