Starting your fundraising journey is easy

You’re here because you want to fight the climate crisis. Your solution? Backing people to protect the rainforest.

But it doesn’t end there

Our fundraisers are a creative bunch when it comes to taking on challenges, from beard shaves and bake sales to stand-up comedy and streaming marathons. There is something for everyone.

Once you’ve picked what you want to do, you’re well on your way. Remember, your options are limitless.

Need a little inspiration?

Here's how some of our Rainforest Champions have been fundraising for Cool Earth.

Running the London Marathon

Ebony watched her cousins run the London Marathon in 2023 and was inspired to give it a crack herself in 2024. She choose to fundraise for Cool Earth to "help people, wildlife, habitats, the environment, the survival of planet Earth as we know it.".

Bike Packing for climate

Julian hopped on his bike and peddled approximately 2,000 kilometres on his bike-packing adventure cycling from Oostende, Belgium to Belfast, Northern Ireland "I’m doing the trip for myself but I also want to give something back and thought about a fundraising challenge."

Harry's half marathon

Harry laced up his running shoes and ran the Weston-super-mare half marathon for rainforest. He chose to run for Cool Earth as he believes "everyone has a role to play is protecting our planet, no matter how small. I also know that every penny I raise will be put to good use.”

Cards that give back

Phoebe creates and sells beautiful Christmas cards through her website and donates 20% of her profits to Cool Earth. Phoebe says there’s no time like the present especially when it comes to saving the rainforest and helping to reverse climate change before it’s too late.

Running for rainforest

Do you think you could run a marathon every month? Sibling duo, Seren and Rowan are doing just that, and fundraising for Cool Earth and British Divers Marine Life Rescue. They are taking on 26.2 miles between them every month in 2021 and have raised over £300.⠀

Cycling for the climate action

Connor completed an impressive 150km bike ride around Richmond park during lockdown and raised £1,000. He chose to fundraise for Cool Earth to take effective climate action – backing people to protect rainforest and fight the climate crisis.

Marathon miles for the planet

As well as making environmentally conscious decisions such as eating a plant based diet and going plastic free at home, Dave laced up his running shoes and took on 26.2 miles, to make a difference.

Jess's Yoga Marathon

Wanting to help protect the planet and fundraise for a charity that helped to prevent climate change, Jess taught back to back yoga classes online and smashed her £750 target in just two days. A top tip from Jess, 'be bold, as you are doing this for a good cause. Remember, life is short so make a difference!'

Meet Stuart Offord

London Marathon returned to the streets of the capital in 2021, and with it, our creative fundraiser Stuart... dressed as a tree. With the help of some super inspiring videos, which we highly recommend you check out, Stuart not only completed the London Marathon, he surpassed his target and raised £3,500, no sweat - well, maybe a little.
