TOWARDS IMPROVING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ANNUAL REPORT 2018 4.2.3 Skydive For Life We have been running the Skydive challenge for the past five years and it has proved our most consistent fundraising event. For the coming year we are planning to increase the amount of sign-ups by targeting third-level colleges. We had great success with this in the past through UCD Student Union and we are hoping to recruit the help of the students’ unions in the colleges around the country in 2019. 4.2.4 Other Charity Events For 2019 we are introducing a new range of fundraising events with broader appeal. These are: Great Wall Challenge One of the ‘New Wonders of the World’, the Great Wall of China is a thrilling challenge of ups, downs, twists and turns. With 10,000 uneven steps, this trip will challenge even the most dedicated trekker. Exhaustion will quickly vanish however, as you are rewarded with sweeping views over vast mountain ranges. Fundraisers need to raise a minimum of €3,750 to take part in the event. Half of that total, and anything else they raise above that, goes to support the work of the charity The Big Leap We have teamed up with the highest indoor bungee jump in the world, the incredible Abyss @ Magna in Rotherham, UK, to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime chance for fundraisers to face - and beat - their fears. Fundraisers need to raise a minimum of €500 to take part in the event. €250 of that total, and anything else they raise above that, goes to support the work of the charity The Big Bake Sale The Big Bake Sale gives people the opportunity to both fundraiser for Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland, but also raise awareness of our work in their communities. The concept is a pretty straightforward. They bake a few cakes and invite their family and friends around for coffee morning. Each person invited to the coffee morning is asked to make a donation to the charity. 4.2.5 Increase Corporate Support Our 2019 Fundraising Plan puts more emphasis on corporate fundraising now that commercial finances are recovering. We will be introducing a number of sponsorship initiatives which can be found at www.sponoropportunities.ie. 4.2.6 Increase Media Awareness We will be working to increase media awareness of fundraising events in local areas.

TOWARDS IMPROVING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ANNUAL REPORT 2018 4.2.7 Use of Fundraising Contractors The Trustees are considering the use of third-party fundraisers to combine house to house retail with awareness information distribution. This is a new area for us and we will be looking very carefully at the implications and benefits. Any subsequent use of such fundraisers and the approved contract will be registered with the Charities Regulator. 4.3 Fundraising Guidelines We remain committed to complying with the Statement for Guiding Principles for Fundraising and have formally discussed and adopted the Statement at a meeting of the Trustees. We again confirm our commitment to the principles set out in the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising by a statement to that effect in this annual report. We have a published Donor Charter which is consistent with the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising. The Trustees regularly monitors compliance with the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising and compliance reports are received regularly by the board, and our administrators must consider the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising when planning all fundraising activity. The Donor Charter is available as Appendix A and the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising as Appendix B. PAGE 25 YOUTH SUICIDE PREVENTION IRELAND
