Do Your Own Fundraising

On 8th August, our brilliant supporter John took on a unique (and slightly terrifying) challenge: a wing walk at Wickenby Aerodrome – all to raise money for Framework!

Living just across the road from one of Framework’s housing services, he saw firsthand the positive impact that Framework was making to help people rebuild their lives. And so, he set off on his high-flying adventure, strapped to the top of a plane and soaring through the sky.

After a daring flight, John has managed to raise over £1000 to support people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage. Well done John!

In July 2024, Catherine took on the full Outlaw (Ironman) in Nottingham to fundraise for Framework in memory of her friend Ben. Having only first dipped her toe into the lakes of a triathlon a couple of years ago, her biggest hurdle was overcoming her fear of the 2.4 mile lake swim, hours spent ‘normalising’ cycling 112 miles, and running a marathon after all of this!

Catherine decided to raise some money for Framework at the same time as taking on this challenge. She had worked within housing and homelessness for many years and wanted to raise funds so that Framework can continue to support rough sleepers into accommodation. In successfully completing the challenge, she also managed to triple her fundraising target and raise a grand total of £1598 for Framework!

On 18th April 2026, Framework supporters Lucy and Gemma organized their own black tie event and raffle at the Pitcher and Piano in Nottingham in aid of Framework.

Thanks to their incredible efforts, generous donations on the night, and sponsorship from Gemma’s company, they managed to raise an astounding total of £1040 plus £247 in Gift Aid!

Their fundraiser is a reminder of the powerful impact individuals can make in coming together to transform lives for the better.
