Fundraising Events
Fundraising events can be a fun and rewarding way to raise sponsorship in support of those living with arthritis. Keeping active is one of the ways to help your joints remain healthy and there are many options to chose from, whether you are embarking on a challenge for yourself or on behalf of others affected by the condition. We are a small team, happy to support your efforts, whether you embark on a solo challenge or as part of a group.
For any questions or to discuss further, please get in touch with our Fundraising Manager on fundraising@arthritisaction.org.uk.
Find an event
If you are up to a challenge and like to hike, you can choose from a number of organised events, as we’ve partnered with Sky Blue Adventures. You can directly sign up to the event of your choice:
- Snowdon Sunrise
Snowdon is a popular summit trek by day-time, but it forms a real challenge by night.
Standing at the summit by moonlight will be an unforgettable experience, as will seeing the sunrise from the mountain slopes as you descend. Witnessing the spectacular landscapes opening up before you as the day grows lighter is a magical and unforgettable experience.

Top Tips for hiking:
- Find comfortable and suitable shoes that provide good support and grip.
- Work out a training plan that meets your needs and a routine that allows you to get the most out of each session.
- Set realistic targets and add other forms of exercise that will build up your core strength. Aim to keep it social and invite friends to improve motivation.
- Think of your diet and recovery time – it will reduce risk of injury and fatigue
- British weather can be unpredictable! Check forecasts and dress in correct hiking essentials.
Organise your own fundraiser
Keeping active is an important part of self-managing arthritis and can help with both long-term physical and mental health, so why not try walking, swimming, cycling or something uniquely your own as a challenge! You can read about what motivated our fundraisers on our Meet the Fundraisers page.
