Fundraising Ideas

I'm doing a zip slide across the river Clyde in Glasgow next month in aid of Epilepsy Scotland.

In order to take part I need to raise a minimum of £120 (although I'm aiming to raise as much as possible!)

At the moment I'm trying to get donations for a raffle and a guess the teddy bear's birthday.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Preferably free but I don't mind paying out for a few expenses.

Also if you would like to sponsor me (any donations welcome, even a couple of quid would be fab!) or just want to have a look at my page to see how I'm getting on please visit:

Many thanks!

  • You need to specify how much of the £120 is the cost of you taking part and how much is going to the charity.

    There is a small charge of £31 per place that is paid to the company that organizes the Zip Slide event. So £89 of the £120 minimum sponsorship raised will be received by the charity.

    Although I am paying £20 of the £31 charge so £109 will be going to the charity in my case!
