Sponsored challenges

Why not get sponsored to do a challenge?  They are a great way to raise money for the Chilterns Neuro Centre! Some ideas for sponsored events include:

  • 24-hour silence
  • shave your head/beard or cut your hair
  • leg waxing
  • sponsored bike ride/exercise bike ride/rowing
  • sponsored swim
  • give something up for a month
  • skydive
  • zumbathon / yogathon
  • a marathon, half marathon or 10k run

Just £200 can help to allow someone with chronic fatigue to feel more energised to do something they love, like walking their beloved dog.  Imagine what £500 could do!

Tell us about your challenge by emailing the Fundraising Team. We can guide you on how best to fundraise and share your story.

Sponsored skydive

Are you an adrenaline junkie?

How do you feel about jumping out of a perfectly serviceable airplane thousands of feet above the ground?

Take part in our charity skydive!

There are centres all across the country although the nearest one to us is the Hinton Skydiving Centre in Brackley (NN13 5NS). The centres all have different operating dates but at Hinton you can jump any day of the week exception Mondays.

The registration fee is £50 and you must commit to raising £450 in sponsorship.

If you work in a a shop or office why not see if you can pop one in your canteen or on the reception desk and encourage your colleagues or visitors to donate their spare change too.

Sell your unwanted items

Time for a declutter? If you are having a clear out why not sell the items and donate the proceeds to the Centre. There are many different ways to sell new and used items.

Fees may apply. Make sure you are aware of the terms and conditions of your chosen platform before you list an item to sell.

What do you do with your old printer cartridges?

Do you have any old jewellery, currency, electronics or stamps?

We have partnered with Recycle4Charity and Recycling For Good Causes to help raise money for the Centre.

Just drop off your unwanted items in the box in our atrium and we’ll take care of the rest. Thank you.
