Fundraise for Us

Fundraising Ideas

There are dozens of ways to fundraise, from baking to swimming to hosting a quiz – you don’t have to run a marathon if you don’t want to! We’re always happy to discuss your fundraising ideas and plans. Get in touch with us at fundraising@waterloouncovered.com.

Want to get fit while raising money for veterans? Take on a running challenge! If you fancy an extra challenge, why not talk on a marathon or half marathon for Waterloo Uncovered?

Beat the summer height as you fundraise with a sponsored swim! Simply pick a distance, set up your fundraising page, and ask your friends and family to sponsor you.

Hit the road with a sponsored cycle, alone or with friends. A cycling challenge can be a great way to fundraise while improving your own wellbeing with fresh air and exercise.

Why not cook up some sweet treats to sell to friends, family, colleagues or school friends for charity – or even host your own Great British Bake Off with friends with a small entry fee?

Hosting a charity pub quiz at your local can be a great way to have fun, socialise with friends, and raise money for veterans and serving personnel, all at the same time!

It doesn’t have to be spring for you to get started on your spring cleaning! Why not sell your old clothes, books or knick knacks at a local car boots sale to raise money for Waterloo Uncovered?
