Marvin's Marvellous Picnic
This summer, Marvin our Marvellous Mascot, is inviting the nation to pack their sandwiches, grab a blanket, and get together to host a delumptious picnic to raise funds for Roald Dahl Nurses.
To help make every picnic phizz-whizzing, Marvin has put together a fundraising pack filled with everything you need to host the perfect picnic – from games and invitations, to a handy picnic check-list, and plenty of fantastic fundraising ideas to inspire your guests to get involved. Whether it’s a garden get-together, a picnic in the park or even an office lunch, it couldn’t be easier to take part.
35 years supporting seriously ill children
In 2026, Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity celebrates 35 years of providing specialist support for seriously ill children and their families across the UK.
This milestone is both a celebration of the extraordinary difference our Roald Dahl Nurses have made to thousands of children and families, and a moment to look forward with ambition to expand our impact and Roald Dahl Nurse network.
Our work is only possible because of the community of supporters behind us. The runners, cake-bakers, organisations, grant-givers and individuals, who give so generously. Please join us in celebrating 35 years by fundraising to establish More Marvellous Nurses.
