The Brake Escape toolkit

With only your phone and laptop to help you, can you raise enough money to secure your freedom?

Here's how it works:

1. You can take part in the Brake Escape on your own or in a team.
2. All participants agree to be ‘locked in’ and must raise funds for Brake to be released.
3. Using only a phone or laptop, ask friends, family, colleagues and social media followers to donate and set you free.

And here's some top tips:

• Get all escapees locked in together – ideally somewhere visible.
• Set a fundraising target for each escapee.
• Make it a competition, with prizes for who can raise the most, escape the fastest, etc.
• Provide plenty of drinks and snacks – this is fun fundraising!
• Invite senior management, celebrities, or local dignitaries to take part.
• Ask local media to cover your escape.
