Fundraising inspiration

We’ve had some whacky fundraisers – like fun runs dressed as Where’s Wallie! Fundraising events can be as out there or as simple as you like. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Coffee morning

Charge for entry, or ask for donations in return for cake

Pub quiz

Challenge your friends and family to test their general knowledge in return for donations. A portion of the entry fee can be spent on a winner’s prize with the rest as a donation to the charity

Raffle or tombola

An easy and fun way to do by itself or in addition to a coffee morning or quiz

Challenge yourself

If none of our challenges fit the bill, organise your own! You could try to get a certain amount of steps every day, or do a sponsored swim in the local pool

Dress down/up day at work

Invite your colleagues to join in the fun with a small donation to dress up or down at work for the day

Whatever you decide

Whatever you decide to take on, we’d love to know so we can support and promote your fundraising. Just email us & let us know.

Setting up a JustGiving page

The easiest way to collect donations, however you choose to fundraise, is through JustGiving.

Simple go to our JustGiving page and click ‘Fundraise for us’ to get started. You’ll be guided through the set up process.
