Fundraising for your skydive doesn’t have to be daunting – it’s a chance to get creative and have fun while supporting a great cause!

Our dedicated fundraising team is here to provide plenty of ideas and support, but here are some suggestions to get you started:

Set Up a Personal Fundraising Page: Create a personalised page on platforms like JustGiving. Share your page on social media, email, WhatsApp, and with friends and family to spread the word.
Share Your Story: Let people know why you’re taking the leap and why Julia’s House matters to you. Personal stories inspire and motivate people to donate.
Host Fundraising Events: Organise events like bake sales, quiz nights, or dinner parties. Add a raffle for extra fun and ask local businesses for prize donations.
Get the Community Involved: Partner with local groups, churches, schools, or supermarkets to organise fundraising activities or gain their support.
Check for Matching Donations: Many employers will match the charitable contributions made by employees.
Sell Unwanted Items: Declutter and raise funds by selling items you no longer need on platforms like eBay, Vinted, or Facebook Marketplace.

Fundraising should be as exciting as the skydive itself! For more personalised advice, don’t hesitate to contact our fundraising team – we’re here to help you succeed.
