CHARITY FUNDRAISING IDEAS
Get moving
Hike, bike and walk your way to fundraising success. Get fit and have fun in the process.
Get baking
Put on a bake sale and encourage others to take part. It’s the most delicious way to raise funds!
Get performing
Put on a comedy night, a gig – anything that entertains people. Raise funds while dancing or laughing the night away.
Get crafty
Knit, sew and craft your way towards your fundraising goal. Whatever your hobby is, sell your goods to help raise funds.
Get celebrating
Whether you’re celebrating your wedding, birthday or remembering the life of a loved one, donations linked to special occasions are a great way to raise funds.
Get organising
If you need to clear your house of things you no longer need, a garage sale or car boot is a wonderful way to raise funds and declutter your home.
Get weird
Think outside of the box and do something totally unexpected to raise money. Baked bean baths, bad karaoke nights and reverse spelling bees welcome.
Get reading
Raise funds while doing something you love already. Get sponsored to read a certain number of books in a set time.
Get cooking
Host friends, family and colleagues for a themed dinner night to help raise funds, all while enjoying lovingly prepared delicious food.
3 top charity fundraising tips
When you’re thinking about fundraising, whether it’s the first time, or you’ve done it lots before, there are three tips we always recommend people follow:
1. Set a clear goal
Set a clear target you’re working towards to stay motivated and help people donating what you’re aiming for. You can make it as manageable or as ambitious as you want!
2. Shout about it
Make sure people know you’re raising money for charity so they can help out. Share it via email, social media and word of mouth so people know how to take part.
3. Make it fun!
Whatever you choose to do to raise funds, make sure it’s something that excites you to keep you engaged. If you’re enjoying it, others will too and you’re more likely to raise funds.
