Fundraising ideas - Glasgow style

Postby babyreecesdaddy » Mon Jul 13, 2015 10:51 pm

Hi all,

I do a bit of volunteering with a charity and I wanted to come up with a fundraising idea that's something different from climbing a hill or running a race.

Does anyone have experience of the crane abseils or have any other suggestions?

I had considered kayaking Inverness to Fort William but someone else suggested Kayaking the River Clyde - But I'm not sure if that's possible!

Has anyone got more 'unusual' ideas?

I did an abseil of the Red Rd. flats many years ago, it was great. Insurance can be a bugger for this sort of event though. It is becoming harder to come up with an original idea for fund-raisers.

Ps - Just remembered that some Jags' fans did a sponsored pub-crawl of the Maryhill Rd. They crawled along the Maryhill Rd. , calling in at every pub - and there's a few still - for a drink.

I'm sure there's a group of Jags fans who do a Subway crawl as well and then there is the wee guy who does the bull running in Spain

Also one of the Consultants used to do an abseil off GRI for charity, the old building.
