Fundraise for us
Any team, any size, any time of year: an office bake sale, a sporting challenge or a black-tie dinner. You choose what to do and when, and we’ll help.
Events at work
The kit makes these easy to run whenever suits your team.
Launch-day bake sale
Rocket biscuits and planet cupcakes. Check a launch schedule, pick a date, and watch the launch together on the big screen.
Space quiz
Our ready-made quiz has rounds on the planets, famous missions and life on the International Space Station. Charge per team.
Walk to the Moon
The Moon is 384,400 km away. Log your team’s steps for a month, ask sponsors to pay per kilometre, and see how far you get.
Launch watch party
Put a live rocket launch on the big screen and charge for snacks. Our calendar of good dates helps you pick one.
Lunar lunch
A shared lunch with a space theme. Moon cheese optional.
Gala, ball or dinner
A black-tie evening, an awards night or a charity ball with a space theme. Talk to us early and we’ll help with the story, a speaker from the space industry, and auction ideas.
Dress for launch
A space-themed dress-down day. Astronaut costumes are optional but encouraged.
Your own idea
If it’s legal, kind and raises money, it counts. Tell us about it and we’ll help.
The event kit
Posters
Two sizes, with space to write your date and what you’re doing.
An email to send round
Short, ready to forward to colleagues.
The space quiz
Six rounds, with answers and a scoresheet.
A money guide
One page on collecting safely and sending the money to us.
A calendar of good dates
Rocket launches, World Space Week and meteor showers, to time your event.
Where the money goes
£15 puts a child through Mission School.
£1,000 sends a whole ward on a mission.
Engineers give their time free and we ask partners to donate the satellite photos, so the money mostly goes on the things children keep: their patch, their flight log and the session kits.
After your event, we’ll tell you what it did. “Your quiz sent a whole ward through Mission School.”
Galas and dinners
A Star Chasers gala, a black-tie dinner, a ball or an awards night. These work brilliantly alongside the big space-industry events in the calendar.
Talk to us early. We can bring an engineer to speak, a crew’s satellite photos for the screen (with the hospital’s permission), and ideas for the auction.
Other ways to raise money
Sponsor something
A company can sponsor a mission, a hospital, a region or one of the bigger moments, with its name on the thank-you.
Major gifts
If you’d like to fund something big, like a crew’s names flown on a satellite, let’s talk.
Trusts and grants
We’ll apply to trusts and foundations that fund children’s health, play and science education. If you sit on one, we’d love an introduction.
Give yourself
One-off and monthly gifts through this website, once donations open.
