Take on a wild challenge for wildlife!
Support our animals at London Zoo and help us restore wildlife around the world by taking on a fundraising challenge!
There are lots of ways you can fundraise for London Zoo. Over the last few years, our fantastic fundraisers have taken on many challenges, from a sponsored walk like a tiger day to an animal-themed quiz night and birthday fundraisers – the possibilities are endless.
Choose a challenge from the list below or come up with your own wild fundraising idea, and you’ll become part of a team of animal-lovers, helping us to care for and protect threatened species for future generations.

Feel the full force of flying through the clouds from over 10,000ft at up to 125mph! A skydive might be something you’ve had on your bucket list of a while. If you decide to take the jump, you can raise money for London Zoo at the same time.

Take on your own challenge
Becoming a fundraiser is simple, and fun! Just follow these steps to get going:
- First things first – choose your challenge! Check out our A-Z of ideas in our fundraising guide or come up with your own animal-themed fundraiser.
- Set up your fundraising page on JustGiving and click on the ‘start fundraising’ button.
- Follow the steps to set up and personalise your page. Include a photograph, share your story, and don’t forget to set a target – pages with targets raise 46% more on average.
- Roar loud and proud. Ask your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours to support you. Share your fundraiser on social media, WhatsApp and email – people love to hear about the good things you’re doing.
- Let’s get going! Put on your best animal outfit and get started with your challenge. Make sure to take pictures and tag London Zoo on social media – we’d love to see what you get up to.
Every single penny you raise will make a real difference in supporting our animals and our worldwide conservation work.
