Go live. Game, chat, create—and help fight for disability equality.

A streaming fundraiser is a brilliant way to turn your passion for gaming or content creation into real-world impact. You could host a marathon gaming session, a creative livestream, or a community challenge. Every minute you stream helps raise vital funds to support disabled people and their families.

What is a streaming fundraiser?

You stream your favourite activity, such as gaming, music, art, fitness, or just chatting, and invite your audience to donate. You can:

• Host a gaming marathon or speedrun challenge.
• Stream creative content like art, music, or cooking.
• Set fun milestones (e.g., “If we hit £100, I’ll wear a silly hat!”).
• Collaborate with friends for a team event.

Platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Tiltify, and Facebook Gaming make it easy to connect with your community and raise funds in real time.

How to fundraise for charity by streaming

1. Plan your stream
   Pick a date, platform, and theme. Decide how long you’ll stream and what milestones or incentives you’ll offer.
2. Set up your fundraising page
   Create a JustGiving page and select “I’m fundraising for a charity.” This ensures donations go straight to Scope.
3. Promote your event
   Share your stream link and fundraising page on social media. Tag #TeamScope so we can cheer you on!
4. Go live and have fun
   Engage your audience, thank donors in real time, and keep the energy high. Every donation makes a difference.

The impact you’ll have

Every pound you raise helps Scope provide free advice, emotional support, and campaigning for equality. From our helpline to online communities, your stream helps create an equal future with disabled people.

“Scope’s Online Community has definitely made me more positive. It's definitely helped me feel less alone. It's helped me not to be embarrassed by my disability. It has helped me say ‘this is me’, it's part of me, but it doesn't define me and it doesn't own me. I wouldn't be me without it.” - Bryony, Scope Online Community Customer

And don’t forget Gift Aid - UK taxpayers can boost donations by 25% at no extra cost.
