Start your fundraising page

Things you can do

Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas, from quick five-minute challenges to events you can organise with your school, uni or workplace.

#GoPurple- wear something purple

Get your school, workplace or community to go purple for YMHD. Ask people to make a donation to take part. Simple, visible and incredibly effective at sparking conversations about mental health.

Sponsored steps challenge

As a school, team or organisation, set a steps target and get sponsored to reach it. You can track it together, cheer each other on, and share progress on social media. Great for getting everyone moving.

Bake sale & coffee morning

People love a sweet treat! Encourage everyone to take a proper break, have a chat and enjoy some homemade bakes. Charge a suggested donation per item, and make it purple-themed for extra points.

Whatever your fundraising plans are, the stem4 team would love to hear about it and support your journey.

Email us at fundraising@stem4.org.uk and let us know some more about your fundraising.
