Fundraise for Bletchley Park

Why not organise your own event or maybe even challenge yourself to something new and raise sponsorship for us?

Bletchley Park relies on your support and would benefit from you organising your own events.

There's loads of things you could do from holding a quiz night in your local pub, to a sponsored walk

You can then create your own Just Giving page to help raise your sponsorship for your event

Or you can Raise money in memory of someone

Once you have decided on your fundraising activity please fill out an Event Notification Form. This will really help Bletchley Park as we would love to be able to keep records of all the events that take place for us during the year. Completing the form also helps you, as we can:

• List your event on our website
• Provide you with logos and poster headings

To see what other people have been doing to support Bletchley Park please look at our Supporters gallery, and don't forget to send us information and pictures about your event to add to the gallery.

Marathon Running

If you already have a place in this years marathon and want to raise money for Bletchley Park then please contact Niki Holmes-Bridges at nikihb@bletchleypark.org.uk, to join Team Turing

We will send you out all the information you need to make your marathon a success including where to go for training help and ideas on how to raise sponsorship.

Niki said “I wanted a personal challenge and thought that I could combine that with raising funds to help Bletchley Park, a world class heritage site, from further deteriation. The site needs to be preserved for generations to come in order to honour the remarkable men & women that worked here.  I can’t personally thank them so the next best thing I can do is to preserve their memories... by helping Bletchley Park honour the work and achievements that took place there.”

However Bletchley Park would like to encourage other people to join Niki in helping to raise funds for Bletchley Park and also honour the codebreakers. We will be assembling a team of runners called Team Turing, after code breaker Alan Turing who worked with many other great men such as Dilly Knox and Gordon Welshman to break the enigma codes.

Alan Turing achieved world-class Marathon standards. His best time of 2 hours, 46 minutes, 3 seconds, was only 11 minutes slower than the winner in the 1948 Olympic Games. In a 1948 cross-country race he finished ahead of Tom Richards who was to win the silver medal in the Olympics. A leg injury put an end to further serious running by Turing. However, even after he moved to Manchester he still occasionally represented Walton in events. The last event he ran for the club was in April 1950 when he was on the Walton relay team in the London to Brighton race. Also a member of the same Walton team was Chris Chataway, who a few years later went on to help Roger Bannister break the four minute mile.
