Fundraising to Beat the Trails

Thank you for signing up to Beat the Trails! By pledging to raise £207 you could fund one night of expert nursing care. Here's all the advice tips and inspiration you need to get started.

Your JustGiving page

JustGiving makes donating and sponsoring simple. All donations sent through a Marie Curie JustGiving page come directly to us, so there's no need to chase up donation money. That includes any donations that come through after your trek is finished. Set up your JustGiving page for your trek now.

Fundraising rewards

We know that fundraising can be just as challenging as the training for your trek. Our fundraising rewards are our way to say thank you as you reach your pledged fundraising and beyond:
  • Raise your first £46 and you'll receive a waterproof rucksack cover to keep everything dry during rainy days. To reduce postage, we'll include your rucksack cover in your event pack about a month after you've registered or one month before your event.
  • Reach your fundraising pledge of £207 and you'll receive a Beat the Trails t-shirt (if you've opted in to receive one and have raised your target one month before the event) which you will receive around one month before the event.
  • Double your fundraising pledge to raise £414 which could fund two nights of nursing care, and you'll get a bespoke Beat the Trails tubular scarf and a bobbled hat.
Subject to terms and conditions.

Sponsorship money

Please don't bring your sponsorship money with you on the day, we aren't able to process any money at the event. Mobile phone reception can be patchy in some locations, so we suggest you bring a screenshot of your JustGiving page if you're fundraising online, your sponsorship forms if you're fundraising offline, or collecting any fundraising rewards.

Post event fundraising tips

Last year 20% of donations to Marie Curie came in after the event had ended. Once you've completed your event, you deserve to shout about your achievement – and this can also boost your fundraising! Here are some tips:
  • Share pictures from your Beat the Trails event on social media – pictures of you crossing the finish line, at the summit, or proudly wearing your medal will always go down well!
  • Add an update to your JustGiving page – log into your JustGiving account and head to your fundraising page. Scroll down to the ‘Updates’ section, and here you can add messages and updates for your supporters to see. Update people that you have completed the trail and you may see more donations come in.
  • Follow up with your supporters to thank people – your supporters will be keen to know how you got on, so spread the word that you did it and thank them for their support. It may even trigger more donations.
  • Ask your employer about Matched Funding – some employers will offer to match your fundraising pound for pound or agree a fixed amount to donate. It's an easy way to top up your total, so ask your employer if they have a matched giving scheme.
  • Set yourself a stretch target – people always love a challenge and if you stretch your target to round up to an even number or to pay for an extra hour of care, supporters are likely to get on board to help achieve this with you.
  • Got cash you need to pay in? If you’ve collected sponsorship offline and you need to pay it in, don’t wait! Here’s how.
