Fundraise For Us
How to Fundraise for the Julian Trust
Every penny raised helps us keep our doors open to people experiencing homelessness in Bristol. Whether you’re running a marathon, hosting a bake sale, or asking friends to donate instead of buying you birthday presents - your support makes a real difference.
Take on a Challenge
Push yourself and raise vital funds at the same time!
-
Run or walk in a local 5K, 10K, half-marathon or marathon.
-
Cycle, swim, or hike for sponsorship.
-
Set your own personal challenge - anything from climbing mountains to giving up coffee for a month!
Running for Julian Trust?
We have Julian Trust branded running tops available for anyone taking part in a sporting event to support us. They’re a great way to show your support and raise awareness while you fundraise!
Just get in touch with us at info@juliantrust.org.uk to request one.
