Fundraise for the BGS

Help us secure the future of older people's healthcare

Every older person should expect compassionate, personalised and expert care. At the British Geriatrics Society, we are dedicated to improving healthcare for older people by empowering and supporting the professionals who look after them every day.

We are a membership organisation, but we are also a charity. You can support us by fundraising just as you might for any other charity.

Questions you may have

Aren't my membership fees already funding the BGS?

  • Yes, and they are our primary source of income, but we are currently running at a deficit. This means that our work providing you and the wider MDT with resources, training and events costs more than we bring in. The cost of things like venue hire and website services has only increased in recent years. We are doing all we can to keep our costs as low as possible while continuing to improve what we offer. 

I'm not a member, but I'd like to fundraise for the BGS.

  • That's great: anyone, anywhere, can fundraise for us via our JustGiving page, provided you have your own JustGiving account, which is free to set up. 

I'd like to do something, but I'm not sure what.

  • There are all sorts of options if you'd like to fundraise for us. You can register for an existing event such as the London Marathon, The Royal Parks Half, or a Tough Mudder. You could also set up your own challenge or event, like a Couch to 5k, a cake sale or a karaoke night.

How do I collect funds and get them to the BGS?

  • The easiest way is to set up a JustGiving account and then raise money for us via our page. 

Could my team and I do something together?

  • Absolutely. Just set up a JustGiving page for your team. 

I've got an "own place" marathon spot. Can I fundraise for the BGS, or do you have Marathon spaces I can apply for?

  • At this stage, the BGS does not have any charity spaces for marathons, but if you have your own spot, you can absolutely fundraise for us by setting up a JustGiving page. 

My organisation would like to raise money for the BGS, what should I do?

  • Sounds good! Get in touch today, and we can discuss your ideas. 

If you have more questions about fundraising or would like to discuss an idea, please get in touch with us. 

Every contribution makes a difference. Through your fundraising actions, we can continue to support older people by empowering and upskilling the healthcare professionals who care for them.

Thank you for helping us create a better healthcare system for all.
