Support us with a Sponsored Event

A great way to support us and have fun is to raise money from a sponsored activity. For example, you might already be taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon or walking the West Highland Way. You can use this activity to support our charitable work in Edinburgh using our online fundraising system.

Our system creates a web page for you, accepts credit and debit card donations on your behalf, and keeps a running total of the money you have raised.

No sponsor forms required, no need to collect money afterwards, and friends can sponsor you from any location - even overseas!

How it works

You will be guided through creating your own special fundraising page that explains what your event is about and how much you are hoping to raise. This can include a photograph and it will keep a running total of all the donations made.

Donations are made by debit or credit card and processed securely by Work With Us, part of the Scottish Council of Voluntary Organisations. All the money comes straight to us. When your event is completed you can send us any cash donations using our standard donation form.

List of sponsored fundraising event ideas

• Raise money in memory of a loved one (perhaps instead of flowers at a funeral).
• Celebrate a personal occasion (like a wedding anniversary or a birthday).
• Run in a marathon, half marathon or 10km race.
• Take part in a long distance cycle ride like Pedal for Scotland.
• Walk the West Highland Way
  

We are a member of the Fundraising Standards Board so you can give with confidence knowing that your money will be put to immediate use helping people in our community. In the unlikely event that you have any concerns about our fundraising activities we have a  fundraising complaints procedure.

Thank you.
