London Marathon Fundraising

The difference you’re making and how to maximise your fundraising

How your support makes a difference

Through your amazing efforts, we’re able to provide wheelchair skills training and essential equipment for young wheelchair users across the UK. With your fundraising target of £2,100, every pound you raise helps make a real and lasting difference.

Here are just a few of the incredible ways you’re helping to change young wheelchair users’ lives and showing that childhood really can’t wait.

£500

Could pay for one of our engineers to complete a repair and maintenance check on a young people’s wheelchair, helping them to stay mobile and make the most of their equipment.

£1,000

Could go towards a specialist adapted buggy for a very young child, making a difference to the whole family - allowing them to enjoy the freedom of days out, walks on the beach or in the woods.

£2,100

Could cover the costs of a Mobility Clinic for five young people. Our therapists and engineers will assess their needs and handover the equipment, giving them greater independence.

Fundraising Ideas and Resources

Need a little fundraising inspiration? Here are a few easy ways to get your fundraising moving:

  • Dress Down Day – Arrange a dress down (or up!) day for school, work or with your friends and family. Ask for a donation to get involved!
  • Bake Sale – Whip up your best bakes and collect donations in your workplace or ask your colleagues to get involved with a bake-off style competition!
  • Put up a Poster – Shout about what you’re doing by putting up a poster in your office, with a QR code linking to your fundraiser.
  • Raffle – Collect prizes from friends, family or local businesses and use it to create a seasonal hamper. Sell raffle tickets to win and donate the money to your fundraising page. 

Every pound you raise towards your £2,100 target makes a real difference, helping us provide vital mobility equipment, life skills training and life-changing opportunities for young people.
