Get involved

Are you interested in getting behind The Big Push? You can organise any kind of event, no matter how big or small. And if you haven’t done this kind of thing before, don't worry, it's easy - just get a few friends together, pool ideas and keep it simple. You can involve work colleagues, members of your local club or friends, family and neighbours.

We can help you organise your event and provide you with stickers, balloons, sponsor forms, posters and collection boxes. The Big Push is the theme but you can interpret it any way you choose!

The Big Push Ideas

Push your wheels: Hold a sponsored wheelathon with people pushing shopping trolleys, wheelchairs, hospital beds, anything as long as they’re on wheels! Sponsored push ups: Host a competition to see who can do the most push ups. Pedal on your pushbike: Why not cycle instead of your usual means of transport and give your bus fare or petrol money to MDC. Push that pumpkin: Why not ask people to sponsor you to push a pumpkin without using your hands or feet? Push your wheelbarrow: Invite fellow gardeners to take part in a wheelbarrow push. Push the baby: Hold a parent and child buggy push at your school or playgroup. Push your pub: Organise a games tournament in your local pub or club. Push the vac: Offer to clean someone’s house for donations. Push your brain: Host a quiz or ask people to sponsor you to remember a passage from literature. Push the pasta: Get your friends round for a pasta night, or barbeque, tea and scones or what ever you fancy! Push your stamina: Hold an all night danceathon or singathon and celebrate with a slap up breakfast.
