Streaming
If you’re a Twitch streamer, or if you do live streams on YouTube or anywhere really, we’d love for you to do a stream as a fundraiser for HATW! Whether that’s playing a game, doing a live performance, or just chatting with your pals. Streaming would be a great way to help raise money to keep us going, and generally letting people know what we do!

Marathon
Running a marathon or half marathon is one of the most common ways of fundraising for good causes! Get people to sponsor you per mile you run, or just for doing the marathon. Watch out though, some marathons you’re only able to run to support a registered charity – and we’re not a registered charity – so be sure you check before you sign up!
Cycle
Challenge yourself to cycle a certain distance and get people to sponsor you per mile. Or even put a twist on it, and use an exercise bike (but it’s more fun to be in the great outdoors on a real bike!)
Football Match
A five a side match could be a fun way to raise money and get a workout! Get players to be sponsored for the match and get an audience to leave a donation for watching.
Walk
A bit more of a gentle pace than a marathon, but walking can still be a challenge! Especially if you make it over tricky terrain, like a long distance hike up a hill or even a mountain.
Silence
Your friends and family might be really up for this one if you’re a bit of a chatterbox.. But challenge yourself to go without speaking for a day, or a whole week even!
Swim
You don’t have to swim across the channel to make swimming something worth being sponsored for. A set number of laps in a pool can be a challenge in itself.
Skydive or Bungee Jump
If you’re really feeling adventurous and wild, you could get sponsored to do something extreme like skydiving or bungee jumping. Obviously make sure you do it properly and safely with an expert!

Guess the number of sweets in a jar
Put a whole bunch of sweets in a jar, and the person who guesses closest to the actual number wins the jar. Who wouldn’t want to win a jar full of sweets?
Organise a Raffle
It’s a classic, but the mighty raffle doesn’t have to just be left for the village church fete. Sell raffle tickets for people to be in with a chance of winning a prize. If you can, get local businesses or companies to donate the prizes rather than spending too much on prizes. Be aware though there are all sorts of legal obligations when running a raffle – you can read the legalities Gambling Commission.
Pub Quiz
Organise a quiz with a bunch of different rounds to challenge everyone. Everyone pays a donation to play the quiz, but the prize money gets donated. Like with the raffle, you could try and get local businesses to donate prizes.
Bake Sale
Cakes are usually a winner! You could get baking (or get a group of you to bake together) and sell your delicious treats at an event, or even just around the office/school yard.
