Quiz
Hold a quiz in a local pub or your own living room. It’s a fun, engaging way to foster a bit of friendly competition and raise funds!
Litter pick
Organise a sponsored group litter pick to combine cleaning up your local area with raising funds for Greenpeace.
Cycle
Get sponsored to cycle your commute or commit to a new cycling challenge while raising funds for a healthier planet.
Birthday
Instead of birthday gifts, ask for donations to your page and turn your celebrations into funds for a greener, more peaceful world.
Sponsored walk
Get out into nature and raise money for our natural world. Whether you choose to walk to work or hike at the weekend - it all counts!
How the money you raise could help
Could help power our campaigns to protect 30% of the planet for nature by 2030, by establishing more protected areas, such as national parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas, to safeguard wild habitats and their biodiversity.
Could support our work across the globe urging governments to sign agreements to tackle pollution at the source, such as the Global Plastics Treaty, which hopes to achieve a global agreement that limits single-use plastic production for good.
Could help fund our investigations unit onboard a Greenpeace ship, enabling us to research the effects of climate change, document plastic waste, and expose environmental destruction such as damaging fishing operations.
