Fiercely Fun Fundraising
The Big ADHD Fundraiser ‘26
In it’s fourth year, The Big ADHD Fundraiser is raising funds throughout October 2026 for ADHDAF+ and ADHDadultUK Charities and has invited everyone along for the ride…
Rather than the one-off cycling event of previous years, all have been invited to start their own fundraisers as part of one big community team over ADHD Awareness Month.
The (VERY) Big ADHD Fundraiser 2026 was launched by its founder Darren Smith and Jonathan ‘Big’ Mears (as heard on ADHD AF’s ‘Most ADHD Things’ episodes) who cycled from London to Brighton;raising roughly £1600!
Next up we had The Tremendous Trio back in the saddle; peddling 200 miles in 2 days from Necastle to Ayr. Beth, Steph and Micky battled truly horrendous conditions to raise over £1700!
You can read all about their adventure HERE
Friday 23rd Oct ‘26 is the FIFTH annual #ADHDAFDay
Dust off your fiercest threads, because the
Leopard Print Army is officially assembling on socials for the 5th year running in ADHD Awareness Month!
ADHDAF Day 2026 Fundraising Page is HERE
This global social media movement continues to turn timelines ‘wild’ to showcase and unite the ADHD Community.
Taking part is simple: Wear at least one leopard print item on Friday 23rd Oct, snap a photo or video of you wearing it (or if you’re camera shy - just some leopard print) and share it on Instagram with the hashtag: #ADHDAFDay
(tagging @adhdafpodcast and @adhdafplus), and please donate to our ADHDAF fundraiser page (launching soon)
Last year's event raised over £800, which went straight into funding ADHDAF+ charity's free, in-person ADHD peer support groups - crucial spaces that connect and empower ADHD adults of marginalised genders.
This year, we want to smash that target, and paint every corner of the internet with ADHD AF’s symbolic print… and we need you to get everyone on board! Get involved and please share THIS PAGE.
Please get your loved ones and friends on board, or even enlist your whole workplace. Last year, we had an entire school alumni show up to work head-to-toe in leopard print, and we would love to see even more group takeovers this time around.
Whether you are wearing a pair of leopard print socks, a hair band, or going full-body feline, every post and every pound helps turn up the volume on ADHD awareness, connect community and signpost/fund crucial ADHD support.
But why do we wear leopard print? Find out on our FAQs Page
We are the leopard print army…HEAR US ROAR!

We would be so grateful if you would join in and/or donate to and share The Big ADHD Fundraiser and ADHDAF Day 2026… or start your own fundraiser for ADHDAF+ at any time.
