If you don’t have an account with JustGiving it’s super easy to set it up by registering with your email and choose Keep Me Breathing as your chosen charity. We are already registered with them so our bank details are already linked to this site, which means all money raised will be automatically transferred to the charity. You can set up an account here: www.justgiving.com.
You can of course use alternative crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe or Fundly, just make sure our charity is linked.
If your event includes gathering sponsorship from friends and family here is a template form you can use to add your own details: Sponsorship Form Resource
Ask your employer, school or college if they would consider match funding what you raise!
Create your own social media posts to announce the challenge or event and keep posting on your own accounts/ across other local facebook groups in your area and encourage friends and family to share.

We will also post how much money was raised for the charity and of course a big thank you for your support.
Tip: If its a big enough or unique challenge then local press may be interested in hearing about it, so consider contacting your local paper or radio station and email them the details. They may be interested in sending a reporter to interview you/ the team.

We naturally want to feature stories of our fundraisers in our newsletter/ on our website and across our social channels so please keep us updated on your final achievements and provide us with any photos, so we can shout about it.
If you’re ready to make a real difference whilst experiencing the thrill of a lifetime, a skydive can be a fantastic way to raise funds to support us!
Whether it’s your first skydive or you’re a seasoned adrenaline seeker, taking a courageous leap from the skies will help us to keep doing the work that we are doing.
Skydiving gives an exhilarating rush of freedom—as you step from the plane there’s a thrilling moment of suspense, before plunging into a breathtaking freefall and then, when the parachute opens, a serene drift follows, filling you with an awe and exhilaration that you’ll always remember.
