Making money is fun!
Especially when it's for such a good cause. Here are some top tips
- Call on personal support - involve your family, friends, work colleagues, employer, and any group that you belong to.
- Call on the world – build your own personal fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/ukbts/raisemoney/
- Do what you like to do – whatever appeals to you will appeal to other people too.
- Be inventive – host a one-off event, complete a one-off challenge – you can do it!
- And if you can't be inventive, copy shamelessly! If it works and it's successful, it's worth doing for Brain Tumour UK .
Help and inspiration

Collections are another great way to raise funds and awareness. We provide collecting boxes and leaflets. If you're thinking of doing a street collection, read Kathy Oliver's Diary of a Street Collector for inspiration!

Anyone can join in!
Tandem Skydive
Raising a total of £4,800 on 13 September 2008, Michael and Marcus Cox and Saul Ratcliffe each completed a tandem skydive at Old Buckenham airfield in Norfolk. Michael and Marcus sadly lost their aunt to a brain tumour. The three each raised £1,600 in sponsorship and have given the money in her memory.
If you would like to take part in a tandem skydive to raise vital funds for Brain Tumour UK, please contact our Head of Fundraising Claire Glazebrook on claire.glazebrook@braintumouruk.org.uk
