Our story

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
£750 - The men's team does a beer/shot mile
£1500 - Alex shaves his head

More to come 👀

Our updates

Hi all! This is just another quick update, we are now at £335 raised! We're very close to Connor having to get his chest waxed, and also getting closer to Fergus jumping in the Vale lake!

We also have our fundraising mini-comp tomorrow! We'll be starting around 4pm, so please tune into the livestream at @uob_fencing, or come along to Slater if you can!

We also have a new incentive, at a whopping £1500, Alex will shave his hair! We are also hoping to get a prize draw sorted for this fundraiser, we're hoping to release more info on this soon 👀

Hi everyone! Thanks to all those that donated in the first 24 hours. We've managed to raise an incredible £315 so far, which, I think I speak for everyone committee when I say it has far exceeded our expectations, thank you so much! 

As well as the previously unlocked incentives, this means we will also see me (Sophie) drink a double whiskey, aaaand we will also see Arran shave his beard, the much coveted goal!!! All incentives that have been hit will be video'd in the upcoming week or so and uploaded here.

As a result, we have opened up a couple of new incentives. As well as Fergus' £500 goal of taking a dip in the Vale lake, at £400, Connor is going to have his chest waxed, and at £750, the men's team will do a beer/shot mile! Thank you for all your donations so far, and keep your eyes peeled, because we have more announcements to come tomorrow 👀

Thank you so much to everyone who's donated so far! In less than 24 hours, we've managed to hit £150 already, which means we'll be doing all the extra rules on Wednesday! This also means that Mariia will be cartwheeling across Slater, and Theo is also getting water ballooned.

In other exciting news, we've just unlocked a new incentive! At £500, Fergus has promised to jump into the Vale lake - he wanted to do a backflip, but it's a bit too shallow for that, so if you want to see Fergus take a dip, share the link to hit £500!
