Fundraising can be a fun experience
We’ve got advice, support and fundraising materials. We would love to help you have a fantastic fundraising day and to get a real buzz from the experience. Knowing it’s for such a worthwhile cause will help you through.
If you don’t know what sort of event to choose, please get in touch. We’ll give you lots of ideas to suit your needs.
You could sign up for an existing challenge event or you may decide to set your own challenge.
Joss Searchlight’s Copper Challenge.
Jo is taking a large Joss Searchlight bucket into her workplace and asking all her colleagues to donate their small change to Joss Searchlight for the month of September (childhood cancer awareness month).
Shirley (who is terrified of heights!) decided to get herself sponsored to do a zip wire challenge.
Becky decided to overcome her fear and swim 6 miles in open water.
The simplest way to fundraise is to set up an online fundraising page. It means that you can easily share your sponsorship page with friends, family.


Set up a Virgin Money Giving fundraising page:
- Choose which option best suits you. Options are personal challenge, organised event or raising money in support of or in memory of someone special.
- Create your page mentioning why you’ve chosen to do it for Joss Searchlight. It helps to set yourself a fundraising target and to ask all UK tax payers to Gift Aid their sponsorship.
- Share and promote your page via emails and via social media so that everyone you know can visit your page and donate.
