Set up a Fundraising Page

There are lots of ways to seek sponsorship for challenges large and small. Whether you choose to travel miles for your challenge or you pick an event that is run locally, you can ask friends, family, and work colleagues to support you with a donation.

​

Don't forget to register your fundraising at the bottom of this page​​​​​​, and make sure to add your story and lots of pictures to make it extra special!

​

We recommend using an online fundraising platform such as Just Giving to make organising your sponsorship super easy! We can also collect Gift Aid which is an additional 25% so this means that if your donor is a UK taxpayer a £10 donation would actually be worth £12.50!

Use Your Skills or Services to Fundraise for Charity

Looking for a creative way to give back to a cause that matters to you? Why not use your unique talents, hobbies, or professional skills to raise funds for Action for BPAN? By offering lessons, workshops, or creative services in exchange for donations, you can make a significant difference in the fight against BPAN, all while doing something you love. It's a powerful and meaningful way to combine your passion with philanthropy.

Whether you're an artist, teacher, coach, or entrepreneur, there are countless ways to use your skills to raise money for BPAN research and support families affected by this devastating condition. Here are just a few ideas to inspire you:

​

Offer Workshops or Classes

Share your expertise by hosting a workshop or class in areas like painting, cooking, photography, fitness, or dance.

Set up a "pay-what-you-can" or suggested donation system where participants contribute to Action for BPAN.

Use online platforms to host virtual workshops, allowing supporters from all over the world to participate.

 

Host Creative Events

If you're a musician, consider hosting a concert, open mic night, or live stream performance in exchange for donations.

Writers or poets could offer a special reading or create personalized poems for donations.

Craft enthusiasts can offer handmade goods or set up a craft-making session with all proceeds going toward BPAN research.

 

Personalized Services for Donations

Offer personalized services like photography, event planning, web design, or graphic design in exchange for donations to Action for BPAN.

Offer a service, such as dog walking, babysitting, or tutoring, with the proceeds going to the charity.

If you have a particular talent—like makeup artistry, styling, or gardening—use it to host a session or experience for others, where the fee goes toward raising funds.

 

Host a Virtual Challenge or Event

Whether it's a fitness challenge, a virtual race, or a creative competition, encourage people to donate to participate.

Examples include a "sponsored run," "dance-a-thon," or a 30-day art challenge—where participants commit to doing an activity or task each day in exchange for raising funds.

​

Leverage Your Business or Side Hustle

If you have a small business or side hustle, consider donating a percentage of your sales or profits to Action for BPAN.

Restaurants, cafes, and other service-based businesses can host special fundraising days where a portion of the revenue supports BPAN research.​

​

Organize Online Auctions

Use your creative talents or connections to curate an online auction with donated items, services, or experiences.

People can bid on unique experiences—like a cooking lesson, a private concert, or a customized art piece—and all proceeds go to BPAN research. Don't forget to check for guidance here first.

​

Host a Virtual or In-Person "Pay It Forward" Event

Organize a community event where people can offer services to one another in exchange for a donation to Action for BPAN.

For example, you could have a "skills exchange" where people donate their time and talents, and in return, they make a contribution to the charity.
