Individual Fundraising

Like a challenge? Check out our events page for details of a host of  challenges that you can take part in across Scotland to raise vital funds which will be used to support The Simpsons neonatal unit as well as specific fundraising events that we have organised.

Alternatively you may wish to set your own personal challenge

Whether this be a sponsored walk, cycle or swim. For the more daring we have had people who have held a sponsored skydive or bungee jump. 

​

If physical challenges are not your thing, there are plenty of other ways that you could raise funds. Why not;

​

  • Hold a sponsored silence (a great one for the kids)

  • Arrange a teddy bear’s picnic

  • Arrange a bake sale for babies

  • Hold a fundraising night at your local community centre or sports club

 

These are just a couple of ideas to help you get started.

 

If you would like to run your own event please do get in touch with us. We can provide collection buckets and banners as well as help with its promotion.

What to do once you have raised the money

Once you have completed your challenge or event, you can pay over the money using our online donation system or sending a cheque to us.

 

When paying over the money please remember to tell us about what you have done and when so that we can include details on our news and events page.

 

If you have any pictures and you are happy for us to include these on our website, please contact us.
