Fundraise by participating in Abseiling at Call of the Wild!

Abseiling at Call of the Wild

Abseiling at Call of the Wild offers you an exhilarating way to raise money for a cause close to your heart. You'll descend a controlled rope down a vertical drop, relying on skill, technique, and a healthy dose of bravery. As a fundraiser, you can seek sponsors who pledge donations for every meter you abseil, or for successfully completing the entire descent. To increase engagement, you could also film your experience and share it on social media, encouraging others to donate and maybe even try abseiling themselves.

Abseiling is a fantastic fundraising activity because it’s both thrilling and memorable. It pushes your boundaries and provides a sense of accomplishment, which resonates well with donors. People are more likely to support a challenge that requires courage and determination. Plus, it creates excellent content for sharing online, further amplifying your fundraising efforts. The unique and daring nature of abseiling stands out from more traditional fundraising activities.

Call of the Wild is an excellent location due to its professional setup, experienced instructors, and stunning natural environment. The centre provides all the necessary equipment and safety measures, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience. Their team can also offer guidance on setting up the abseiling course and managing participants, making your job as a fundraiser much easier. The dramatic backdrop of the Welsh landscape adds an extra layer of appeal, making the event more visually appealing to potential donors and sponsors.

To organise your abseiling event, start by setting a clear fundraising goal and registering on Sponsivity. Contact Call of the Wild to book a suitable date and discuss the details of the abseiling activity. Create a compelling fundraising page with photos and videos to showcase the challenge. Promote your event on social media, through email, and within your personal network. Offer incentives for donations, such as shout-outs on social media or small tokens of appreciation. On the day of the event, ensure you have a dedicated team of volunteers to help with registration, safety briefings, and capturing photos and videos.

The most suitable Sponsivity challenge types for abseiling are the Traditional Challenge, Distance Challenge, and Wager Challenge. With Traditional Challenge, donors can give static donations for your abseil. The Distance Challenge model would suit, where sponsors pledge donations per meter abseiled. Alternatively, the Wager Challenge model would be perfect if you committed to doing something extra daring, such as abseiling blindfolded, if you hit a certain fundraising milestone.
