The opportunities are vast, discover your fundraising inspiration below and help us to protect and restore the Ocean. 

Run for us

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a beginner taking your first strides, there are plenty of running events to suit everyone. For some inspiration, visit the Run For Charity website and search by region, month or type of activity. Once you’ve found and registered for your event, please create your fundraising page for the Ocean Conservation Trust.  

Challenge yourself

Whether you’re hiking the coast path or swimming a significant distance, you can challenge yourself, have fun and raise vital funds to protect our Ocean.  

Other ideas include cycling from coast to coast or reaching new heights on a mountain trek. Get in touch to discuss your plans, or go ahead and create your fundraising page.

Connect with the Ocean

Some of the best ways to support Ocean conservation are by fundraising in, on or beside it. Whether you’re braving sea dips, kayaking coastlines, or participating in sponsored beach cleans, you’ll be connecting with our Ocean while helping to protect it.

Get baking

There are many takes on the humble bake sale. Think coffee and cake on the beach, an afternoon tea with a coastal touch, an ocean-themed bake off or the classic bake sale (plastic free where possible). Grab your apron and bake for the Ocean! 

Organise your own

If you have your own fundraising idea, we’ve got plenty of resources and inspiration to help you along the way. Gather your friends, family or colleagues and organise your own fundraiser for the Ocean. Create your online fundraising page or let us know your plans. 

Birthday fundraising

What better way to mark another year on this beautiful planet than by giving back? With a few easy steps, you can create your Facebook birthday fundraiser. Celebrate by raising funds to protect the Ocean for many more birthdays to come—oh, and don’t forget the birthday cake! 

Shop and support

From grocery shopping and travel bookings, to clothing and gifts, you can raise hundreds of pounds from all your online purchases. Simply sign up for free with Easy Fundraising and you can raise free funds for the Ocean Conservation Trust with your everyday shopping.

Donation in lieu of gifts

Celebrations are exciting times! Whether it’s your birthday, you’re getting married or it’s the holiday season, ask your friends and family to donate to Ocean conservation instead of buying you a gift.
