Livestream your DJ Set

It’s a simple way to support Teenage Cancer Trust by hosting your own DJ set online and inviting friends, family or colleagues to donate while you play. 

You choose the platform, the date, and the style of music — we’ll support you with fundraising tips along the way. 

You can create a fundraising page on JustGiving or on Tiltify.  

Set a target, add a short personal message about why you’re taking part, and share the link widely before and during your stream. 

You can choose the platform that works best for you. 

Some DJs use: 

• Mixcloud
• Twitch
• YouTube 

Before going live, always check the platform’s current music and copyright policies. 

Before you go live, check your chosen platform’s music and copyright rules. Some platforms may mute or remove livestreams that include copyrighted tracks. 

Many DJs use platforms such as Mixcloud, which are designed to support DJ sets. 

If you’re based in the UK and would like more information about music licensing, guidance is available from PRS for Music and PPL. 

It’s your responsibility to ensure your stream complies with platform and licensing requirements, so a quick check beforehand can help avoid any interruptions. 

This challenge is flexible. You can choose a date and time that works for you. 

Once you’ve chosen your date, we recommend giving yourself at least 2–3 weeks to promote your stream and build momentum. 

Your livestream can take place anywhere with a stable internet connection. Many supporters stream from home, a studio space, or even a workplace (with permission!) 

Your audience will tune in via your chosen streaming platform, and donations will be collected through your online fundraising page. 

Wherever you choose to host it, just make sure your space is safe, suitable for streaming, and compliant with your platform’s guidelines. 

• Mention your fundraising page at the start, middle and end
• Share why you’re supporting Teenage Cancer Trust
• Thank supporters live if possible
• Set a visible fundraising target 

If you have donations on your fundraising page and would like a t-shirt for your livestream, please get in touch with us and we can send you one to wear! Please email us at [email protected]

To be entered into the prize draw, simply raise £250 or more through your fundraising page as part of the DJ Livestream Fundraiser for Teenage Cancer Trust. 

Once you reach £250, you’ll be automatically entered into the draw to win a £50 voucher for our music merchandise store. 

To qualify, you must reach the £250 fundraising target by 30 April 2026. There’s nothing extra you need to do, just keep sharing your fundraising page and collecting donations.  

Yes they can! We just ask they get permission from a parent or guardian before signing up to the challenge.  

There’s no set time requirement, it’s completely up to you. 

Many supporters choose to stream for 60–120 minutes, but you can go shorter or longer depending on what feels manageable and enjoyable. 

Whether it’s a 45-minute set or a three-hour special, what matters most is raising funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and having a great time while you do it. 

If you have any questions, feedback or comments, we’d love to hear from you. You can email [email protected]
