Help ensure nobody has to face cybercrime alone.

Every year, millions of people are affected by cybercrime, digital fraud, cyberstalking and online harm. Yet many never receive the practical support they need. This October, your organisation can help change that.

Whether you take on our Cyber Step Challenge, encourage colleagues to Give an Hour, book one of our expert speakers or become a campaign sponsor, you'll be helping more people access free, expert support when they need it.

Why get involved?

Cyber Security Awareness Month is an opportunity to bring together:

✅ Employee wellbeing

✅ Digital resilience

✅ Community impact

✅ Team engagement

✅ Corporate social responsibility

Your organisation can help raise awareness, engage employees and directly support people recovering from cybercrime.

Four ways to get involved

1. Take on the Cyber Step Challenge

Bring your team together for a month-long walking challenge.

Using the Big Team Challenge platform, teams work together to complete a virtual journey around the world while raising funds for The Cyber Helpline.

Perfect for organisations looking for a fun wellbeing activity with real social impact.

2. Give an Hour

When the clocks go back this October, we're asking supporters to donate the value of one hour.

For some that's an hour's pay.

For others, particularly in professional services, it could be one billable hour.

One hour can help provide expert support to someone experiencing cybercrime or online harm.

Calculate your donation:

Give an hour, help a victim

Donate your last hour of pay

Work out roughly what you earn per hour, then donate that amount to The Cyber Helpline to help us support victims of cybercrime and online harm.
