Fundraising

We suggest that each Trailwalker team pledges to raise £1200 for The Gurkha Welfare Trust as part of their challenge.

Fundraising ideas

Cook up a storm

You don’t have to wait until the Trailwalker finish line to enjoy a Gurkha curry! Host a Nepali curry night, and ask for donations in exchange for a ticket to your exclusive supper club.

Become the Quizmaster

Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to a local pub or community centre for a quiz night. Test their general knowledge, and include a special Nepali themed round for double points!

Flex your sales patter

Sell your unwanted items via an online platform or at a car boot sale, and de-clutter your home at the same time! Nothing to spare? Ask local businesses to donate items for a raffle or auction.

The difference your sponsorship makes

£300

could fund 1000 metres of pipeline needed to bring clean water to a community, improving sanitation.

£1200

could provide a pension for one year, a lifeline for many vulnerable Gurkha veterans and their widows.

£200k

could pay to build a school, complete with classrooms, a library, and toilets. We aim to complete two projects of this scale every year.
