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 £2,200, 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.
£2,200
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.
Need a little fundraising inspiration?
Here are some fun and easy ways to get your fundraising moving:
- Quiz Night – Host a pub quiz at home, work, or your local pub. Charge an entry fee and get people involved for a fun evening.
- Sweepstake – Tie into a big event (like the World Cup, TV shows, or office events) and ask for a donation to take part.
- Challenge Yourself – Take on an extra challenge alongside your marathon (e.g. run every day for a month or give something up) and ask for sponsorship.
- Themed Dress Day – Host a themed dress-up (or dress-down) day at work or with friends and ask for donations to join in.
- Coffee Morning – Keep it simple with tea, coffee, and cake — a great way to bring people together while raising funds.
- Raffle or Prize Draw – Ask local businesses or contacts to donate prizes and sell tickets to win.
- Birthday or Celebration Fundraising – If you have a birthday or event coming up, ask for donations instead of gifts.
Every pound you raise towards your £2,200 target makes a real difference, helping us provide vital mobility equipment, life skills training, and life‑changing opportunities for young people.
