Show the Power of Soap Fans
Soap operas have always been about community: neighbours helping neighbours, friends rallying in times of crisis, and everyday people making a difference. That’s why International Soap Week isn’t just about celebrating the drama on screen, it’s also about supporting the real-world causes that matter.

Hold a bake sale – cobble cupcakes, anyone?
Host a soap quiz night at the pub, online, or in your living room
Organise a sponsored soap watchathon – how many episodes can you binge?
Do a sponsored walk (or run, or cycle) in character!
Donate directly to a soap-linked or fan-chosen charity
Come up with your own creative challenge, and tag us!

Why Fundraise During Soap Week?
Because soaps remind us that small actions can lead to big change. Whether it’s Dee Dee leading the charge for better birthing experiences for Black mothers, Belle’s family supporting her after her experience of spousal abuse, or Phil Mitchell finally accepting help for his depression, these stories teach us about care, resilience and doing the right thing. So let’s channel that same energy — and make Soap Week a force for good.
