Sign up for a Poppyscotland event
Be part of one of our fantastic events - cycle through the hills of Midlothian with our Sportive, hear the Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland perform, or get out and about supporting your local Scottish Poppy Appeal collections. You can get involved on your own or with family, friends or colleagues, and there’s something for everyone. Find out more at Things to do | Poppyscotland
Take on a sponsored challenge
From 5k runs to marathons, cycles to ziplines, Kiltwalks to swims,
we can help you find the right event for you. A sponsored
challenge is a fun way to raise money for a great cause. Got your
own idea? We want to hear it – the possibilities are endless.
Family and friends
There are lots of ways to get together and have fun with family
and friends when you’re fundraising. Ask for donations to
Poppyscotland instead of birthday or anniversary gifts, or host a
Tea & Toast event, or get sponsored as a team for a walk, swim or
cycle challenge. Our special fundraising pack for schools also has
loads of great ideas for younger fundraisers.
At work
From an office quiz or challenge event to a cake bake sale, you can get colleagues involved in supporting your fundraising. There are many other ways your workplace can help – through payroll giving, sponsorship or matching the funds you raise.

Gift Aid
Gift Aid lets us reclaim 25% on top of your individual supporters’ donations if they’re UK taxpayers. That means every £100 you raise could be worth £125 to Poppyscotland when your sponsors tick the Gift Aid box on your online page or sponsorship form.
Employers matching your donations
Many employers will offer to match your donations pound for pound, or agree a fixed amount to donate up front. It’s a fantastic way to boost your fundraising, so ask your employer if they can do this.
