Fundraising and events

We want to inspire you to make a difference

Spread the word, have some fun and do some good! We love it when our community gets involved to do something adventurous or creative. Here you can find ideas ranging from the epic to the every day.

Once you’ve decided on your fundraising idea, make sure you let us know then head over to JustGiving and select ‘Fundraise for Us’  to set up your fundraising page. We’ll support you throughout, giving you tips to raise as much as you can to support children to read.

Don’t forget to tag us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn too!

Challenge events

Want to tick something off your bucket list? Want to change a child’s story while taking on an active challenge? Our team will be here to support you every step of the way!

The Bookmark community has already conquered the Lake District Five Peaks (with the National Three Peaks to come)… ran, walked, baked and burpee-ed for our #12DaysofBookmark fundraiser … and much, much more!

London Landmarks Half Marathon

Bookmark is a charity partner of the London Landmarks Half Marathon for 2023!

Next April, we’ll be partaking in THE race around London’s most iconic landmarks to raise money for children’s literacy. We’re looking for runners of all abilities and ambitions to join team Bookmark for what is bound to be an amazing day and achievement to remember for all involved. Our staff will be on hand with refreshments, activities, plenty of support and a lot of noise at our cheer station!

We’ll also be running competitions, handing out goodies, providing insight into children’s literacy in the UK and be dressed in outfits that you simply won’t miss! If you’re a prospective runner, looking to challenge yourself within a unique event and want to help give children the skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life, pre-register for the race here and look for the full charity partner announcement on the London Landmarks Half Marathon website soon!

Full fundraising support will also be available in the coming weeks and months from the Bookmark team. Please fill out our form here to register your interest with Bookmark and click here to enter the ballot.

Virtual Fundraising ideas

As a tech-focused charity, we’ve had a great time thinking about how we can inspire our community with some virtual fundraising ideas! From book clubs to dance parties to team marathons, you can easily support Bookmark with your favourite pastime.
