Every year our volunteers and friends make a special effort to fundraise for our charity in September. 2025 is no different - from bake sales to quizzes and physical challenges, the team will be doing everything they can to raise funds for future holidays. Read on to find out more about what we’re up to and how YOU can join in.
Over the years SuperTroopers and our friends have raised thousands of pounds for our holiday. Although a huge amount of what we need comes from volunteer power, and our amazing partners at Fettes, there are always bills to pay. Every year we take holiday-makers on trips out, which means tickets and coaches. We organise all sorts of activities on site too - we need arts & crafts materials, dressing up clothes, face paints, toys and games galore. We also need all the right supplies for first aid and personal care. Another big expense is volunteer training, and also covering their travel costs to attend inductions, planning meetings and the week itself. Less glamorous but essential (and large!) costs include our insurance premium, Care Inspectorate annual fee and hosting for this website. In total we need at least £20,000 per year to deliver the holiday.
SuperTroop September brings fundraisers together, making sure they get loads of support and recognition from us
During SuperTroop September we encourage friends of SuperTroop to fundraise on our behalf. In previous years, volunteers and other supporters have done sponsored walks, runs, cycling, and even a pogo challenge!. This year we’re showing our creative side by planning a quiz night and a bake sale to raise funds - and we’ll be announcing more activities here as they’re confirmed. You can donate to SuperTroop September here.
Right now, we are looking for more people to join the SuperTroop September fundraising team!
