Fundraising ideas

Struggling to think what to do for your fundraising event? Here are some ideas.

Keep active: Why not do a sponsor swim, cycle or run, organise a football tournament, yoga sessions or climbing challenge? Fantastic for those looking to get fit while fundraising.

Get social: hosting a quiz, coffee morning, garden party, karaoke night or a bake sale are a great way to bring friends, families and neighbours together and make a difference.

Be creative: if you or your friends like being creative, then try running a knitting class, making and selling your own greeting cards, hosting an art show or workshop, or knitting quilts.

Challenge yourself: Why not give up something you love for a period of time? Or take on a challenge, such a climbing a mountain, running a marathon or jumping out of a plane, and ask your friends and family to sponsor you.
