Virtual Fundraising

One of the easiest ways to fundraise for Student Minds is to take on your own challenge, in your own time, wherever you are.

Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

Take on a sponsored challenge, such as running 100km in a month, or cycling the distance from your university to your hometown. If you use Strava you can connect this with your online fundraising page to keep people updated on how it’s going.
Put on an online event such as a concert or a quiz.The advantage of holding events online is that friends and family all over the world can get involved.
Livestream as you take on a challenge such as a gaming marathon. Many online platforms now enable you to integrate your fundraising page with Twitch, making it easier to stream and raise money at the same time.
Sell craft items, baking or artwork to raise money. If you’ve been flexing your creative skills over lockdown, why not offer your creations to friends and family in return for a donation?

You can set up an online fundraising page in support of Student Minds on JustGiving or pay in the money raised after your event.
