Fundraise
Fundraising events are a fantastic way to contribute, raise awareness and bring people together for a great cause. Whether you're an individual, a part of a community group, or a local business, your efforts can help us continue our vital work.
Why fundraise for us?
Every pound raised enables us to help individuals and families in crisis within our community. Your fundraising helps us provide emergency food, essentials and other support services to help address the root causes of poverty. Together, we can make a real difference.
How to get started with fundraising
Setting up your fundraising event is easy and fun! Here’s how you can get started:
Choose your type of event.
Here are some popular ideas:
- Bake sale: Everyone loves homemade treats! Organise a bake sale in your community or workplace.
- Charity sports event: Host a football match, golf tournament, or a fun run. Charge an entry fee and encourage participants to get sponsored.
- Quiz night: Organize a trivia night at a local pub or community hall. Charge for entry and add a raffle for extra fun and fundraising. Contact us if you’d like our ‘Beans on Toast & Brainpower’ food-themed quiz questions.
- Skydive Challenge: Take fundraising to new heights with a sponsored skydive. Available to book at 18 airfields across the UK with various days and times to choose from, all year round. With just 30 minutes of training, you will jump securely attached to a fully qualified British Parachute Association (BPA) instructor, jumping from 13,000 feet, reaching speeds of 120mph!
- Registration fee: £70 (payable to Skyline on booking). Minimum fundraising target: £395–£450 (depending on airfield). Book here
