How to Take on a Daring Fundraising Challenge
Whether it's a skydive, head shave or simply braving a crazy outfit in public, if you're thinking of taking on a courageous challenge then read our guide on how to make the most of your fundraising efforts.
Your Fundraising Pack
Be courageous, take on a daring challenge, push the boundaries and face your fears. Shaving your head, having your legs waxed or attending your next Zoom meeting in your best fancy dress are just some of the many ways you can show your bravery and support The Air Ambulance Service.
You may just want to take on one daring challenge or you could receive suggestions – at the cost of a donation – of take on a number of activities throughout a month or year.
Decide on Your Challenge
Decide what kind of outlandish challenge you’re going to take on – you may have that one thing in mind already or perhaps as part of your fundraising ask you to leave it down to your friends and family to decide your fate, allowing them to suggest the challenge if they make a donation.
JustGiving allows people to sponsor you for your challenge without using cash. They can pay securely online knowing that their donation will be going directly towards supporting our lifesaving services.
Promote your challenge
Utilise your social media pages and share amongst your friends and family. Sharing your JustGiving page link will allow others to read your story and make paying their donations quick and easy.
