Planning Your Own Event

We'd like to invite you, with the support of rugby legend Jason Leonard, to Vitalise your life and get active for charity!

We are looking for people of all ages and fitness levels to organise a fundraising event or try a sponsored challenge for Vitalise.

Choose your event

Maybe you fancy a sponsored run, walk, cycle or swim - or perhaps you want to raise money at your next five-a-side football match or golf day? One of our supporters recently held a Drum n Bass night for Vitalise and raised £200!

The more original the event the more publicity and support you will get, for yourself and for Vitalise. Check our Event Stories page to find out what other people are up to in support of Vitalise, or get inspired by our A-Z list of our favourite fundraising ideas.

Go for it!

As Jason Leonard says, "I am delighted to support Vitalise and really encourage you to get active to raise funds for this excellent cause. Just £350 will subsidise a holiday for a disabled person and an essential break for their carer, so you really will be making a difference!"

Plan ahead

  • Research what else is happening on the day of the event - check your local paper for other events and don’t forget big national events such as football matches.
  • Ask local businesses for support such as reduced price tickets or donated prizes
  • Publicise your event wherever you can. Use local libraries, radio, the papers, shops, town notice boards etc.
  • Don't forget to carry out a risk assessment of your event to make sure all goes smoothly. See the Keeping it Safe and Legal page for more advice.

Vital support

Whatever you choose, the events team are here to help you set up the big day, with plenty of tips to help you maximise fundraising, support and fun.

  • If you are thinking of holding a large event then we can help you with your fundraising plan and budgets
  • Inform the local press and radio about your events and fundraising efforts. We can help you write a press release, to make sure it catches the editor’s eye!
