Have you always wanted to brave a marathon? Or whip up a bake sale? Perhaps you’d love to put on a book quiz? There are loads of ways to raise money for Ministry of Stories – take your pick from the options below or email us with a new idea.
Are you interested in raising funds for us by running the Hackney Half Marathon in 2026? With general entries already sold out, this is a great way to still get involved and raise money to keep East London’s creative minds whirring. We have 10 spaces available!
Think you could get a Hollywood Handshake? Or simply enjoy licking the bowl (otherwise known as helping with the washing up)? Whatever your level of experience, throwing a bake sale can be a piece of cake with a little bit of preparation and planning. Roll up your sleeves, grab a bowl and a wooden spoon, and get baking on behalf of Ministry of Stories. And don’t forget to save a sweet treat for yourself…
