BLAZE Firewalk & Glasswalk Events | Fundraising | Motivational | Mindset | Confidence | Public Speaker | Television
Fundraising has been tough for the past 4 years with no sign of it easing Fundraising through challenge events are popular with your supporters especially firewalking events but since the pandemic I’ve noticed a decline in quality and safety Big promises are made by some firewalk providers that their firewalk will be a spectacular, transformative experience. You post what they promise, an amazing event with images of flames and happy people but the reality was as exciting as a damp squib (think New Year's fireworks display in London versus a £100 box of fireworks in your back garden) Chaotic, cluttered, disorganised, disappointing, dull They rock up with some red and white tape to attach to whatever structures are in place, that’s if they’ve even thought about barriers, wood in the boot of their car (not kidding), a some hi-viz vests (why? They're not on a construction site) Pre-firewalk ‘training’ consists of talking about how amazing they think they are, their journey, singing a song, putting your hand on your heart and thinking of rainbows and unicorns The firewalk was more like a fire step…one step, two steps and off All a bit ‘meh’ and in some cases, painful You work hard with these events; your supporters work hard raising much needed funds Fundraising firewalking is a special skill that your supporters deserve Demand better next up: How to see through the shiny blurb to know just how experienced they are at providing firewalks karen@blazefirewalking.com 07712048042 #firewalking #fundraising #charity #events #FirewalkingInstructor #CorporateSupport
