Fundraise for the Booth Centre

We turned 25 on May 1st, but as you might expect, no one came to our party. So, instead we're asking you to celebrate with us by doing something related to '25' to raise money to support the Booth Centre. 

The spread of coronavirus has affected us all and we understand that many of our wonderful supporters may not be in a position to help us right now. That's ok, we send our love. Like many, we face a difficult year so if you can please get involved in '25 for 25', celebrate with us and raise some much needed funds.

To get involved:
  • Choose your '25' activity; see our list below, take part in our quiz or create your own
  • set up a JustGiving page
  • and then let us know you're celebrating with us – either use the form below or tag @boothcentre so we can cheer you on! Remember to use #25for25.

Booth Centre quiz

We’ve filmed a quiz for you, with questions all related to 1995; the year the Booth Centre started. If quizzes are your kind of thing then get your friends, family, work colleagues and/or pets ready for a quiz to remember. 

Starring colleagues from the Centre as your quiz masters (don’t worry, we won’t be giving up the day jobs), so all you need to do is play and share your screen. We're asking all participants to make a minimum donation of £2.50 each (or whatever they can afford) to support our work and let us know you’re taking part by completing the form below.
