Get Moving for Trócaire

We want you to Get Moving for Trócaire and help us raise vital funds. Whether you are an individual or want to do this with your family or as part of a sports club, see below how you can get involved.

Get Moving  –  Individuals and families

Get moving by covering any distance you choose – you can pick the distance of a Marathon (42km or 26 miles) or whatever inspires you!

It doesn’t matter how you do it – walk, run, cycle, scoot or even or hop if you’d like. Do as much or as little in one go. Do it alone or with your family or with friends – just go for it and keep tracking your progress until you reach that goal.

To help get motivated, you can ask friends and family to sponsor you. You can set up a JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/  (make sure to select the right currency for where you are based) or a facebook fundraiser or people can donate directly at www.trocaire.org/donate

Here you can find lots of resources to help you fundraise for us https://www.trocaire.org/ways-to-help/fundraise/community-fundraising/resources/

Get Moving – Groups

Whether you’re a sports club, community group or a group of like-minded friends who want to come together to achieve something big.

A few tips;

1. Choose a distance to cover and set a time limit by when you want to complete your challenge (again, please do this safely and within guidelines)

2. Get as many people involved as possible! The more people involved, the more achievable it will be. And if you’re a club, don’t just limit it to club members. Get your friends and family involved too!
3. Set up an online fundraising page. You can do this easily at https://www.justgiving.com/ (make sure to select the right currency for where you are based) or sponsorship forms are also available to download here https://www.trocaire.org/ways-to-help/fundraise/community-fundraising/resources/
4. Keep track of your progress. Ask one of your group to keep track of the progress of all the members and keep people updated and motivated.
5. Make it fun. Share photos, videos and post messages to support each other on your social channels and don’t forget to tag Trócaire.
6. Make it your own. The challenge can be done in different ways so try and think of your own ideas on how you can get moving and do it your way!
