Thank you for taking part in the Birmingham Hospice Swim Challenge. By completing this challenge you will help to ensure local people living with a terminal diagnosis get the care and support they deserve.
Find everything you need to take on your Swim Challenge below.
This guide has all the information you need for your swim challenge, including how to get started with your fundraising and how you can earn badges and certificates along the way!
Every pound you raise for us will make a huge difference, but did you know that by creating an online sponsorship page too, you can have even bigger impact!
Setting a page online is easy to do and it’s an effective way to shout about what you’re doing. You can outline the details of your challenge, share your personal story and reasons for taking part and why you are supporting Birmingham Hospice.
Also fundraisers who share photos raise 13% more donations per every picture shared, while those with a set target raise 17% more!
To help motivate you, we’ve created this handy swim tracker for you to print off and mark each distance achieved. You can make a note of which equivalent distance you have swam that relates to one of Birmingham’s reservoirs, and you will be awarded with a digital badge that celebrates that waterway when you complete your challenge.
