Fundraising and Sponsoring our Activities

Fundraise for Us!

Fundraising is an amazing tool to raise money and to spread awareness of our work whilst connecting you with your friends, family, and workplace by doing something fun and creative. Anyone can be a fundraiser and we challenge you to get creative – from bungee jumping to bake sales, whether it is an opportunity to push yourself out of your comfort zone or an excuse for an evening of wine and cheese, GCP is excited to support and be part of your fundraising journey. You can find out how to fundraise through our Fundraising Guide, and for more fundraising ideas check out our A-Z Fundraising Ideas.

Join the Kiltwalk

We invite you to join us for one of our biggest fundraising events- Edinburgh’s Kiltwalk. All donations are topped up by 50% thanks to the generosity of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation- this means for every £100 you raise we will receive £150.

Not only is this an amazing opportunity to raise money for a good cause but it is also a fun day out- each walker will receive a free GCP Kiltwalk T-shirt, a meal on us, and continual cheering support from the GCP community along the route.

PLUS… If you manage to raise £1,000 (before the 50% bonus has been added) we will gift you your own made to measure kilt in our Greyfriars Tartan which you can wear on the day and keep forever as a token of our gratitude!

Save a Seat

Our Members’ Activity Programme runs 29 activities over 48 weeks per year, creating 261 weekly places for Edinburgh’s most vulnerable and isolated to learn, engage and befriend. A place for one day at our Organisation (includes two activities and one hot meal) costs us £25 per person. By committing to a regular monthly donation of £100 you can become a GCP Seat Saver.

By ‘saving a seat’ for one day per month you can ensure that one vulnerable adult can regularly access our high-quality services and become part of our community. You will also receive:

  • A Personal thank you card from our members and volunteers
  • Thanked in our website and Annual Report
  • An engraved brick on our Celebration Wall
  • A report on engagement and successes of the activities & AGM invite
  • A facilitated visit for individuals or representatives to see our good work in action
