IT’S
RAINING
BEN.
A community of Bens, falling from the sky. The Council of Bens is a real, growing, CIC-backed community movement — and this is their cultural moment. It’s going to be one unforgettable day.
NOT A
STUNT.
A SYSTEM.
Underneath the humour is a community movement that has already translated online attention into real-world fundraising, global press coverage and cause-led action.
They’ve climbed Ben Nevis. They raved outside Big Ben. They’ve put people onto the stem cell register. They run on belonging, absurdity and genuine emotional sincerity — a combination that gets shared.
It’s Raining Ben is a charity skydive and community day built for participation, content and social spread — not passive logo placement. Real output.
BUILT ON
THREE
ADVANTAGES.
Most stunts are manufactured. This one has foundations. Three reasons this campaign holds up — and why the right brands will want in.
Real People,
Already Here
1,650 members across 71 group chats. A CIC behind it. DJ Mag and Skiddle coverage on record. This is a functioning community with an existing press trail and infrastructure that activates in the real world.
They’ve Done
It Before
Ben Nevis climbs. A rave in front of Big Ben. Fundraising that’s cleared £2,000 in a single push. The group shows up when it counts and brings a hyped audience with it.
Built for
Short-Form
Anticipation, nerves, costumes, jump footage, landings, crowd reaction, DJs, aftermath, charity reveal. Every beat of this day is a clip. The format doesn’t need a content strategy — it is one.
THE DAY.
Charity Skydive
& Community Day
A team of Bens and friends jump out of a plane for charity, while the wider community turns the day into something bigger than the jump itself. DJs, spectators, supporter energy, pre-jump nerves, post-landing release — and a built-in reason for people to film, share and talk about it. Skydive Langar, 20 June 2026.
Charity-Led,
Community-Built
The Council of Bens has already raised money for Mind, Ben’s Centre and YoungMinds. It’s Raining Ben continues that. Cause-led framing is baked into the campaign — giving the content an emotional dimension that pure stunts can’t manufacture and making the sponsor part of something with genuine stakes.
CONTENT
PARTNER,
NOT LOGO
CLUTTER.
One sponsor. Category exclusive. The brand becomes part of the story — not a badge on the side of it.
1–2 edited recap videos — full event narrative, cut for reach. Optimised for the platforms where The Council of Bens already has an audience.
5 social-first clips formatted for Reels and TikTok — jump footage, community moments, reaction content, behind-the-scenes beats and charity reveal.
High-quality event photography bank — usable across all brand and campaign channels with no additional licensing friction.
Category exclusivity throughout — your brand is the only one in your sector across all content, comms and event presence. Plus optional behind-the-scenes capture.
THIS ISN’T
THEIR FIRST
RODEO.
The Council of Bens has built a surprising amount of public-facing proof before this campaign even begins.
DJ Mag &
Skiddle
DJ Mag covered the Ben Nevis pop-up rave fundraiser. Skiddle reported the 2025 push — 30+ participants, over £1,500 raised at time of publication, with the prior year clearing over £2,000.
CIC-Backed
Movement
COBWOB Community Interest Company, company number 16691158. Not a loose social page with ambitions — a formally structured entity built around community benefit, fundraising and culture.
Raving Outside
Big Ben
They staged a rave outside Big Ben that helped get people onto the stem cell register — following a fellow Ben’s leukaemia diagnosis. That’s not a stunt. That’s a community mobilising around something that matters.
