University of Birmingham Fencing Club are raising money for The Change Foundation
This March, the University of Birmingham Fencing Club is fundraising for The Change Foundation! Here at UoB, our aim is to make fencing accessible to every student, regardless of background, especially for those from vulnerable and marginalised groups who may not have had a chance to try fencing before. This is why we have decided to support The Change Foundation, who already partner with British Fencing to deliver Fencing 4 Change, a project we'd like stand behind as a university club as well.
To support our fundraising, we'll be running a charity mini-cup on Wednesday the 18th of March, at 3.30pm, which will be livestreamed on our Instagram, @uob_fencing! We have a couple of fun incentives we will do during this mini-cup, so if you want to see them, get donating! 👀
Our current incentives:
£25 - We will fence epee with priority
£50 - We will fence foil without priority
£75 - Sabre hits only count if they're made with bladework (parry ripostes and beat attacks only)
£100 - Trickshots are worth triple points (e.g., blind hits or cartwheel hits)
£125 - Mariia cartwheels across Slater
£150 - Theo gets water ballooned
£200 - Sophie downs a double Bell's whiskey (she hates whiskey)
£300 - Arran shaves his beard
£400 - Connor gets his chest waxed
£500 - Fergus jumps into the Vale lake
£600 - Amelie dyes her hair bright red
£750 - The men's team does a beer/shot mile
£1500 - Alex shaves his head
More to come 👀

Hi everyone! Thanks you to everyone who has helped us raise £620 for the Change Foundation! Although our fundraiser is technically over, we are still open to donations, so any amount is more than welcome!
We are also slowly but surely making our way through the incentives - in this update, we've got Connor waxing his chest, which was our £400 goal! We still have Theo's and Fergus' goals left, which we'll be hoping to complete and post here soon :)
Hi all! Just a quick update to thank you all for getting us to £600, and helping us to meet Amelie's incentive! She's already done the hair-dying, but we still have a few videos to come from Theo, Connor, and Fergus in the coming weeks. In the meantime, there is still time to donate, and thank you all for your support so far!
Thank you to everyone who came down to our inaugural Novice Competition today! We're almost at £600 now with the fundraiser, and in the meantime, Mariia has also completed her incentive. The rest of the incentives will be coming up next week 👀
And I also had the opportunity to drink whiskey as our £200 goal! More to come in the next few days 👀
We've completed one of our incentives! Arran's now freshly shaved 👀
