For many of our supporters, fundraising is the ideal way to feel good about doing good: a true wellbeing boost.

And for staff and volunteers, your generosity combined with fun and laughter, really energises us.  We know that with you, we are reaching and supporting people together, your efforts inspiring us to do more and do better for our community.

Fundraising Ideas

It can be difficult to know where to start with fundraising ideas – but picking the right one for you is important because you’ll feel excited, have fun, engage more people… and raise more money!

Whatever you choose, rest assured that we are here to help you – from getting started, to setting up your Just Giving page, to wearing the t-shirt and bringing it home, we’re in it together.

Just to whet your appetite, here are a few ideas of Bristol Mind fundraisers which have worked brilliantly:

Running

If running is your style, there are plenty of events you can take part in, including the Great Bristol Run!

Click on this link to find out more: AJ Bell Great Bristol Run | 11 May 2025.

**Please note, we are an independent local charity: in order to fundraise for Bristol Mind rather than National Mind as listed on the site, please follow the Just Giving Page instructions above, you are still eligible to run and fundraise for us!

Once you book your place in any running event, we can support you with a running vest, sponsorship form and online fundraising advice.

Million Steps

Are you looking to challenge yourself and support Bristol Mind at the same time? If so, then you’re ready to take on our Million Steps Challenge. This isn’t your average fun run, it’s about setting a target however you reach it (you can walk to work!), and challenging your colleagues and friends to join and outdo you – in steps and £££s!  Simply follow this link to find out more: A Million Steps for Better Mental Health – JustGiving

Wingwalk

Fancy a walk in the clouds? You’ll take to the skies on the top wing of a biplane and experience an exciting series of flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives and banks in front of your family and friends.

Sky Dive

Or if you prefer, experience the exhilaration of skydiving from a plane at around 10,000 feet and 30 seconds of freefall before your parachute opens.

Adventure Challenge

Why not go for a more ambitious challenge… and bring home the money to your local Mind! Whether you take on the Three Peaks Challenge or climb Mount Everest, let us know if you’d like to take us on a daring adventure.

Fundraise for – or with us!

Get involved by encouraging your friends or colleagues to raise money together – or join one of our fundraising events and support our team. We regularly post opportunities for joining us, click here to have a look at some of the future events that we are organising.
