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
Organise your own sponsored ride/event with our guide to organising sponsored events to get you started. William Debois cycled over 200 miles in under 24 hours for Sustrans in 2010. On choosing to raise money for Sustrans, he says: ‘Sustrans is a charity that has the potential to positively affect hundreds of thousands of people! It has a clearly visible impact at root level and is helping to prevent future health and environmental issues’. To find out what else people have planned see 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.
If you're new to cycling and want to gain confidence in a safe environment as well as raising money for Sustrans, join a Sustrans Fresh Air Miles ride. These traffic-free and family-friendly rides are organised by Sustrans volunteers.
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.
Look after Sustrans collection boxes at local bike shops, gyms or wherever you like. Request a collection box.
Or organise a collection point for unwanted CDs, DVDs and games and turn them into cash for Sustrans. If you think you can collect over 100 items contact Estelle at MusicMapgie for a free collection box.
