If you’re struggling for fundraising ideas, we have put together some ideas that you may like.

Get fundraising! 

Auction of promises – persuade friends and colleagues to donate their skills, expertise and services for auction. Lessons in sport, music, dancing or languages; home-baked cakes and meals, ironing and other household chores.

 

BBQ – invite family and friends and ask for a tasty donation or for the winter months try a Bonfire Night party.

 

Coffee morning – invite family and friends or ask for the use of the local village hall and invite the local community, charging for coffee, tea and biscuits sold. You could always add the element of a cake sale to the event.

 

Dress down day – we all have days when we wish we could forget the usual office or work uniform and wear something more comfortable to work.  Why not encourage the local school to join in with a non-uniform day?

 

Easter egg hunt – hide some chocolate eggs and charge friends and family to hunt for them. Be inventive with your hiding,  try leaving cryptic clues to where another egg is hidden. Everyone loves a challenge, especially where chocolate is involved.

 

Film night – invite your friends round for a film night and ask for a donation. From Disney to Horror, there are lots of themes you can choose from. Or for the more active people amongst us – try taking part in a fun run, try our Hike or a local run.

 

Give it up – it’s not what you do, it’s what you don’t do. Why not give something up to raise some money? Donate the money you would normally spend on chocolate, cigarettes, first pint on a Friday night or get sponsored to give up facebook or twitter for a month or six.

 

Halloween party – everyone loves a chance to dress up at Halloween and you could charge for pumpkin pie or sell carved pumpkins.
