Whether it’s a short run or a marathon, running events are a great opportunity to ask for sponsorship.

If you don’t want to run why not opt for a sponsored walk instead? Walking events are becoming more and more popular with many including an overnight element. This means you can even complete the distance over two days!

There are cycle races taking place nationwide all year round which cater for novice riders to seasoned cyclist, and you don’t have to have fancy equipment to take part. It can be a great way to enjoy the views whilst raising money. Or why not take part in our London to Bruges Bike Ride?

This one is only for the brave! Make sure you get someone to film it and share the footage on social media along with the link to your fundraising page. Using social media to ask for sponsorship is a great way to boost those £££s.

There are lots of skydives to choose from around the country. The aim is to raise enough so the cost of your skydive is covered and the rest goes to the charity. Make sure you ask as many people as possible to sponsor you before you take the leap.

For adrenaline junkies, a bungee jump can be an exhilarating way to raise money and showcase your daredevil nature.

Whether you have ambitions to abseil down a building, landmark or rock face, there are plenty of resources online to help in your quest to abseil for charity.

Whether it’s outdoor wild swimming or your local pool, swimming is a great way of raising money for charity. You can organise your own event or join a pre-existing event.
