Change The Tide - Fundraiser
CHANGE THE TIDE FUNDRAISER
Join us as we take on miles in solidarity with those trying to cross the sea to reach safety. As a team or individually we run, cycle, row swim or use any other self powered movement beside the water, this is a direct action against ‘Stop The Boats’ campaign.
You can plan your own event during Refugee Week ( Monday 19th - Sunday 25th) as a team or on your own, you choose the place, miles and the company!
Or we have our Compass Collective events for you to join in with :
Saturday 24th June - 21.9km Seven Sisters Hike from Seaford to Eastbourne
Sunday 25th June - 5k,10k & half marathon in Hyde Park
GET TRAINING!
Whatever mode of travel you are using, the Compass fundraising team will support you in the training and delivery of your event. Your training will be specific to you the activity you will be doing and the miles you have committed to achieve.
Top Tips - from Marathon finisher:
Create a realistic training schedule (don’t ask too much of yourself. We all have busy lives!)
Start small and build up over time.
Warm up and warm down before and after you train
Run your longest run/walk/swim/cycle a week before the race and then take a few shorter runs leading up to the date.
Nuts and raisins go a long way… as do jelly babies!
FUNDRAISING TARGET
How much can you raise?
Our group target is £5,000. We’d love you to set a target of £100 (there is no upper limit! You may of course want to raise even more! People love to back your ambition - so share with friends what your target is and explain how their money will be helping.
Who could sponsor you or fundraise with you?
Think about all the people you know, from different parts of your life, each one could be a potential supporter. For example family, old school friends, work friends, neighbors, clubs, or even your local pub! Some may even want to help you organise the event as well.
