Fundraise for us
At Cry-sis, we understand the emotional toll that persistent crying and sleepless nights can have on parents. Our helpline offers a lifeline, compassionate, non-judgmental support from volunteers who truly understand. But we can’t do it alone. As a small non-profit, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you to keep our service running. One powerful way to help is by raising money through sponsorship.
What Is Sponsored Fundraising?
Sponsored fundraising is a fantastic way to turn your personal goals or challenges into meaningful support for Cry-sis. Whether you’re running a marathon, hosting a bake sale, climbing a mountain, or giving up something for a month, you can invite friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor your efforts. Every pound raised helps us continue providing vital support to families in crisis.
Ideas to Get You Started
You don’t need to be an athlete or adventurer to make a difference. Here are some popular and creative sponsorship ideas:
Sponsored Walks or Runs: Take part in a local 5K or organise your own walk with friends and family.
Challenge Events: Set a personal challenge—like a month without caffeine or social media—and ask for sponsorship.
Bake Sales and Coffee Mornings: Host a sweet treat fundraiser at work, school, or in your community.
Dress-Down Days: Encourage your workplace to hold a casual dress day for donations.
Fitness Goals: Track your progress toward a fitness milestone and invite sponsors to support your journey.
Creative Projects: Paint, write, or craft something special and auction it off for charity.
How to Set Up Your Fundraiser
Choose Your Challenge: Pick something that excites you and feels achievable.
Set a Goal: Decide how much you’d like to raise and share your motivation—why Cry-sis matters to you.
Create a Fundraising Page: Use platforms like JustGiving or GoFundMe to make it easy for people to donate.
Spread the Word: Share your page on social media, email, and in person. The more people who know, the more support you’ll receive.
Keep Supporters Updated: Post regular updates and photos to keep your sponsors engaged and inspired.
Why Your Support Matters
Every donation helps us keep our helpline open and accessible to parents who are struggling. Your fundraising could help us:
