Raise money

We ask that you raise £10 for every kilometre you'll accomplish. If you raise over £500 you'll be eligible to join our exclusive 500 club, more information can be found on the tab above.

Creating an online fundraising page is the easiest way to raise money. It takes a few minutes to set up and a link can then be easily shared with your friends and family on social media and by email. Remember, you're taking part in an amazing challenge - people will want to support you.  

CREATE YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE 

We know fundraising can be quite a challenge, and it isn't always easy asking friends and family to sponsor you. 

To help you with fundraising, we've created the Tower of London Sweepstake. All you need to do is find a prize and then ask friends, family or colleagues to pick a Tower for suggested donation of £2....the winner bags the prize, and you get to add £48 to your sponsorship total.

Matched Giving

Lots of companies operate Matched Giving schemes that can double the amount of money you raise. Find out if your employer operates a scheme and if they will match what you raise. Remind them that it’s tax efficient for them and it benefits the BHF.
