We’ve got plenty of fundraising materials available for you to help you. Take a lot at our resources page to download fundraising tools, including sponsorship forms and fundraising guides with great ideas to help increase your donations.
It’s also a great idea to share your fundraising page on social media, or send it to friends, family, and colleagues and shout about the amazing challenge you are taking on!
On our resources page, you’ll also find some social shareables that you can send out with your fundraising page.

I’m running with others, how do we set up a team page and fundraise together?
You can set up a team fundraising page in 2 ways, which are best explained here. We usually recommend just having one page and changing the name so it reflects the whole team. However, you can also set up individual pages and link to a team page too.
Please could you set your target to £1000 per person for the Abseil or £2,500 per person for the Zipwire x 'the number of team members' and then once you have the page up and running please send us a link and the names of all the team members. This way we can link the page and donations to you all.
