We love fundraisers! Over the years we’ve had some wonderful people who have decided to do amazing things… and have take the opportunity to raise the profile of our work and raise some money!

To help you decide on your plans, here are some ideas and tips to kick-start your fundraising. 

Top tips for running a fundraising event:

Your Event 

Think about who you know or who is at your workplace and what they would be interested in – A sports event? A gala dinner? A quiz? A cake bake?

Your location

Where might you hold your fundraising event? Is it an outdoor event or could you host your event at your workplace or can you book a local hotel or community centre?

Your date

Which date might win you the highest attendance (at the weekend or an evening mid-week?) Make sure you consider other events and special dates such as national holidays or sporting fixtures which may clash with your event and give yourself enough time to plan and prepare.

Your  fundraising

How are you going to raise the most money? Will you hold a raffle or auction on the day? Will you be selling cakes, drinks and gifts? Will you charge for attendance? Set yourself ambitious but achievable targets.

Spread the word

Make sure everyone knows about your event.

Ask your colleagues or friends to share about your event on Social Media and don’t forget to tag us in:

Facebook

Instagram

Linkedin
