What's On

Sponsored events are the perfect way for you to achieve something you've always dreamt of while raising money for Africa Now. Why not get involved this by joining the Africa Now team for the British London 10k Run or the London Triathlon? If this isn't challenging enough, have you ever thought about skydiving?

Raising sponsorship is much easier than you think! Think of all the different people who you can ask (work colleagues, family, friends), and even local businesses. It's all worth a try! Click here to see our fundraising guide.

The Mazda London Triathlon - 9/10th August 2008

Swim, cycle and run through the capital in one of the UK's most prestigious events. Anyone can get involved, as an individual or as a team, with distance options to suit all abilities. Sign-up today and we will provide you with all the support you need, including a t-shirt, goody-bag and sponsorship forms. Our places are strictly limited and are available on a first come, first served basis. Call 01865 403265 or email Kim Guard at Africa Now.

British London 10k Run

The eighth annual Run will be the biggest and best ever, with tens of thousands of runners raising over a million pounds for charity. The event has been sold out for the last three years, so enter now to avoid disappointment. If you are interested in joining us on Sunday 6th July, please contact Kim Guard for more information and a fundraising pack.

Parachute jumps

In conjunction with Skyline, Africa Now can organise for you to complete parachute jumps from heights of up to 10,000 ft, either solo or in tandem with a qualified instructor. To find out more, go to our Skydiving page.

Skyline also offers you the opportunity to try whitewater rafting and abseiling whilst raising money for Africa Now. For more information please go to Skyline Events.

Organise your own event

You and your friends or work colleagues might like to organise a fundraising ball, hold a cake sale, or even arrange a sponsored dog walk! Feel free to call for a chat about or ideas, or visit our A-Z of Fundraising ideas for more inspiration.
