Fundraising Your Way: Ideas to Get You Started
By Media Team on
If you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few ideas to help get those creative juices flowing.
Don’t forget to customise the challenge to suit your ability, access needs and the type of activity you’re passionate about — there’s no one “right” way to take part.
🎮 Game your way to glory
Are you a keen gamer and want to use your passion to fundraise? Why not host a gaming stream and ask people to donate while you play.
Whether you enjoy marathon sessions with your mates or like to test yourself with unique in-game challenges - the possibilities are endless!
🚲 Time on two wheels
Grab your helmet, set your goal and see how far you can ride. Whether it’s a bicycle, adapted cycle, motorcycle or a session on a spin bike, take on a challenge that works for you.
🚶 Let’s move it
Do your challenge your way - roll, walk, run or jog towards your personal best! Whether you're using a wheelchair, heading out for a stroll or setting your own pace at home, every bit counts.
🍰 Ready, steady, bake
If sport isn’t your thing, get your friends, family or colleagues together for a bake-off challenge. You get to try a range of treats whilst raising money for a good cause, what’s not to love?
♿ Move your way
Set a movement goal that fits your routine. From wheelchair sports and adaptive workouts to stretching, physio exercises or daily mobility goals. It’s all about what challenges you.
⛳ Tee off for a good cause
Love spending time on the course? Set yourself a golfing challenge and fundraise while you play. Whether it’s completing a certain number of holes, improving your handicap, or taking on a longest drive or putting challenge, it’s a great way to get involved.
