Get fundraising
Fundraising in the community and through sponsored events is extremely beneficial for Sustrans, raising vital funds and spreading the word about what we do to a wider audience.
Ways to get fundraising
Sign up for Charity Adventure's Coast and Castles 2010 cycle challenge or organise your own sponsored ride/event with our guide to organising sponsored events to get you started. Alex Lowe organised a sponsored ride from Aberystwyth to Cardiff in 2009. He says: "This was a truly fantastic experience and having seen so many miles of Sustrans' routes in such a short space of time I am all the more pleased to fund the provisions for cycling that Sustrans offers." See what our Supporters have planned for 2010 on our sponsored events page.
Take part in a marathon, triathlon or other challenge event for Sustrans. Find a local triathlon or run on the Runner's World website, sign up and then contact us for a fundraising pack and running vest. LATEST NEWS: We have places in the Chester Marathon on offer! We're looking for runners who will commit to raise at least £100 for Sustrans. We can offer free entry into the event and a Sustrans fundraising pack and running vest. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis so contact us now to sign up; email supporters@sustrans.org.uk or call 0845 838 0651.
Become a Sustrans volunteer and start fundraising in your community or hold a cake sale, quiz or gig, or a cycle to school/work day. Get inspired with our fundraising pack and contact us to let us know what you are doing.
