Join the fun: Fundraise for Move Momentum!
Our amazing supporters never cease to inspire us, from marathons and bake sales to danceathons and gross eating challenges! Every pound raised helps Move Momentum continue providing life-changing dance opportunities for people who need them most.
If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to do something to help”, now’s the perfect time to get involved.
Inspiration from our supporters
In April 2024, our fantastic Trustee Emily took on the Brighton Marathon, she remembers “ it was so much harder than I ever imagined! I squeezed in training runs early in the morning, on lunch breaks, even while pushing my 2- and 4-year-olds in the buggy! On the day, the heat hit hard at mile 16, but what kept me going was remembering that the pain was temporary, unlike the daily challenges faced by many MM beneficiaries.” She pushed through for an amazing finish, raising an incredible £532 for Move Momentum.
Katie’s Danceathon had everyone moving in March 2024, raising £319, while Lynn’s Pub Bake Sale the same month brought in £78 (and plenty of smiles and happy tummies!).
And just this summer, Amanda, Lynn and Keeleigh joined the Winchester Round Table’s Pedal, Paddle, Pace Challenge, raising a phenomenal £880 in July 2025.
From marathons to music and muffins, every fundraiser makes a difference.
Quick tips for successful fundraising
1. Start with what you love – Whether you’re sporty, creative, or community-minded, your fundraiser should feel fun!
2. Set a clear goal – Tell people what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how much you hope to raise.
3. Make it easy to give – Use online pages like JustGiving, Crowdfunder, or Give as you Live Donate. Don’t forget to enable Gift Aid if you can!
[Gift Aid makes your fundraising go even further!
If your donors are UK taxpayers, they can tick the Gift Aid box when donating. That simple tick means the government adds an extra 25% to their donation — at no extra cost to them. So, for every £10 raised, Move Momentum receives £12.50! It’s a small action that makes a huge difference to the impact of your fundraiser, so ask people to tick the box!]
4. Shout about it – Share updates on social media: photos, milestones, even bloopers. The more you share, the more people engage.
5. Say thank you – After your event, celebrate! Let supporters know how much they helped raise and how it supports Move Momentum’s work.
