Fundraising Ideas and Tips

The easiest way to raise and collect money is by setting up your own fundraising page online. This allows people to donate safely and securely. Visit JustGiving.com for lots of great information and advice.

Here are some tips to help you make the most of fundraising online: 

• Personalise your fundraising page with a photo and a message
• Ask people to sponsor you even 10p or a £1; it all helps!
• Take full advantage of social media and promote your page
• Email your fundraising page to friends and family
• If you work, ask your employer to match what you raise
• Let everyone know what you're up to and keep your page up to date

Challenge your family and friends to channel their best Bake Off skills and see who can produce the tastiest brownie! Sell your cakes, pastries, pies and biscuits at school, college, work or in the front garden!

Ask your local supermarket if you can hold a bag packing day. It's a great way to support the local community as well as raising money for your charity!

Challenge events are a fantastic active way to support your charity. Whether you want to feel the exhilaration of a sky dive, train hard for a marathon or tackle an obstacle course it's a great opportunity to try something new for a great cause.

Put your creative talents to the test and organise a fashion show - why not use re-cycled clothes and make it an eco show? Invite your school or the wider community to see your designs, and don't forget to charge an entry fee!
