Fundraise
Congratulations to our Derby 10K runners!
Our amazing team of 15 runners did a brilliant job raising over £3,000 for our work welcoming refugees in the Derby 10K this year!
If you’ve been inspired, there are plenty more opportunities to fundraise for Upbeat over the warmer months! The Derby Half Marathon is taking place on Sunday 30th June 2024. If you’d like to take part, you can register your interest via the form below and we’ll be in touch.
Never fundraised before? Don’t worry — we will be here to support you every step of the way!
Fundraise for refugees in the Derby Half Marathon:
There are lots of other great ways to have fun, whilst raising money for our work empowering refugees in Derby. Here’s some inspiration if you’re stuck for where to start with your own fundraiser:
Twin your baby shower
Upbeat works closely with refugee mothers in our city who are often very isolated. If you’re expecting a baby, you can invite your guests to make a monetary donation towards our work. Click below to read about Nicky’s experience twinning her baby shower.
Bake with your little ones
Fancy a bit of baking? A simple bake sale is a great way to get kids involved, feed people, and raise awareness for our work. You could be like Charlotte, who raised £162.75 thanks to the Duffield Dynamos Under 6 team — and their hungry parents!
Get on your bike
If you’re sporty, you could cycle a long way like Tim and Beate, who took part in the coast-to-coast challenge and raised £1295 for Upbeat! Or, you could take part in a triathlon like Chris from Nationwide, who raised £832 by swimming, cycling and running his way to the finish line.
We support our amazing fundraisers every step of the way, and will provide you with everything you need, from money boxes, to posters you can advertise in places of interest. Just email hello@upbeatcommunities.org and we’ll be in touch!
