Raise money for AVERT

Raising money is a fantastic way to support AVERT's work! It can be a great way to do something fun and exciting at the same time as raising money and awareness.

Here are a few ideas about how you could fundraise, but there is no need to stick to things on the list, let your imagination guide you!

You could sign up to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London, which is happening in October (plenty of time to train), and get sponsored for AVERT! Places are released on the 9th March, and you can register your interest now, to be kept up to speed. Places are £39. You could really help our work! We need your help!

Here are some more ideas:

  • Being silent

This is a very effective way to get sponsored. You can set up a sponsorship website very easily, you are guided through step by step. Once your site is set up, all you have to do is direct everyone possible to it, and they can give easily and securely.

We found it works a charm!

Sell on eBay

Like an online bring and buy sale. You can sell things on eBay and direct the profits (or a percentage of them) to AVERT.

Give as you earn

Ask your employer to set up an easy way for you to help regularly.
