Fundraising Pack

Running a Marathon

Running a marathon can be extremely challenging. However, every runner has a different experience of running the 26.2 miles needed to complete a marathon course. Running a marathon on behalf of Brathay Trust is more than that – you not only get the feeling of accomplishment at finishing the distance, you also have immense pride at completing a race where you have helped to raise money for vulnerable young people.

Parachute Jump

Skydiving is a truly unique experience. From the adrenalin rush of the free fall, to the serenity of the slow gentle glide back to earth, the day will be one that you will never forget. By doing a parachute jump for Brathay you won’t just have the experience of a lifetime; you will also give young people the opportunity to turn their lives around.

The 3 lakes Challenge

A group challenge (15-20 people) is a great way to build team spirit or just simply have fun. Whether work colleagues, a sports team or a group of friends, you’ll need to have endurance and the ability to cooperate to be able to finish the 12-hour long paddling and rowing challenge. But in that time you will be able to enjoy the splendour of the breath-taking scenery of the Lake District.

Supermarket Bag Packing

This challenge is suitable for a group of young people who want to help their peers. Assisting supermarket customers to pack their shopping does more than ease their shopping experience. It can also help shoppers to feel good about themselves; having helped vulnerable and disadvantaged young people around the UK.

We have also created three Microsoft Word documents to help you with you Bag Pack, including posters for you to add your information to and print, a covering letter to send to your supermarket and even a bucket wrap!
