Fundraising Ideas

PHOTOGRAPHY: Martin Spence and Luke Holmes both love landscape photography and enjoy getting out into nature all over Northern Ireland and beyond. So, using their passions and talents, each year they help us produce our “Inspiring Ireland” calendar that we are able to sell to raise funds. 

RUNNING: David Norwood has just completed the most amazing fundraising activity to date - running 52 marathons in a year! He only started running a few years ago as he says “to lose a bit of weight” but he just kept on going, and now he has raised over £10,000. 

WALKING: Caroline Bickerstaff was so struck by the needs of the street kids when she heard of their plight at a seniors club that she organised and participated in a six mile sponsored walk.

CRAFTS: Dorothy who loves to knit kindly started to donate the most beautiful hand knitted craft items which we bring along to craft fairs to raise funds.

CYCLING: If cycling is your thing then perhaps your club could choose us as their charity of the year - as both Kilbride Cyclists and Kings Moss have recently done - or perhaps like Stephen Hunter you fancy lapping the lough - FIVE TIMES!
