Step up for Change is a personal fundraising challenge and opportunity to fight for a great cause. Welcome to the team!   

We’re asking you to complete the walk or running challenge of your choice in April - choose between 100 miles in a month, 10,000 steps a day in April - or a challenge of your own design!. 

Whatever you get up to, every penny you raise will help to stamp out UK poverty. 

Your donations could: 

• support a family to buy a new cooker so they can feed their children. 
• help cover a week of groceries for a family struggling to keep food on the table. 
• provide a grant to help towards paying the rent, keeping a roof over the head of someone in need.

Is there a fundraising target? 

Donations of any size make a difference and are gratefully received. Please only donate what you can afford. 

We are asking our supporters to raise £100 to help stamp out UK poverty.  

By taking part in Step up for Change you are making a difference for those of us struggling to afford the basics. Together, let’s go the distance and make a difference. 

I have collected some donations offline. How can I send these to you?

You can pay in offline funds by paying these into your account and donating onto your personal fundraising page.  

You can also donate via bank transfer. Get in touch with our team on fundraising@turn2us.org.uk to request our banking details. Please be sure to add the reference “Step” and send an email to our team on the email above detailing your donation amount and your full name so we can track this.

How do I set up my online fundraising page? 

Your personal fundraising page will be set up automatically when you register for the event.

Where can I get an offline sponsorship form? 

Please get in touch with fundraising@turn2us.org.uk. Our team would be happy to help you with the form and any other resources we can help with. If you have already signed up, you can download a sponsorship form on our resources page alongside your supporters pack – check your confirmation email for more info.

I feel uncomfortable asking for donations, can I still take part? 

You are very welcome to take part in the event and help to raise awareness rather than funds. This is also hugely important – and we would love to have you on board. 

Unfortunately, we can only provide our exclusive Turn2us shoelaces and medals to those people who have raised a minimum of £15 or £100 respectively.  

Alternatively, if you would like to make a one-off donation yourself you can do so using your personal fundraising page. Thank you for your support. 

You can also help us to raise awareness by sharing our social media posts.

Right now, one in five adults and one in three children are living with poverty in the UK. Let’s go the distance and help to stamp out UK poverty together.  

Your donations could: 

• support a family to buy a new cooker so they can feed their children. 
• help cover a week of groceries for a family struggling to keep food on the table. 
• provide a grant to help towards paying the rent, keeping a roof over the head of someone in need. 

We will be walking and running with you! We will be sharing updates and messages across our website and social media. We’ll also be there to answer any questions you have. Just drop us a line on fundraising@turn2us.org.uk.

Participants aged under 18 must provide contact details of their parent or legal guardian and must receive permission from that parent or guardian to take part in the event and receive communications from Turn2us about this event. 

We are keen to hear from you! Please get in touch with our team on fundraising@turn2us.org.uk for more information.

We celebrate you! After the event we will send out medals to everyone who has raised over £100. We’ll share the total raised with you over email at the end of April – so make sure you collect as many donations as you can during the month!

Share your success with us on social media! We would love to see you getting out and about – make sure you tag us using our social media handles.

When will we find out how much has been raised? 

We'll tally all the funds and update all participants at the end of April. 

Of course, you can absolutely Step up for Change at the time that suits you best. Contact our team on fundraising@turn2us.org.uk if you have any questions or need any support.
