Fundraising Ideas

IDEAS DETAILS
Afternoon Tea Get baking, sandwich making, and tea-brewing. Invite friends, family or a local community group to a tea party and ask for a donation for their attendance.
Auction Do you have any collectables you've been meaning to clear out, or perhaps you have some rare skills you have that are ripe for auctioning off? Either way, an auction is a fantastic way of raising money, bringing people together and having fun.
Bake sale Throw on your aprons and get baking to help change lives. You could hold this at work, school or home and go sweet, savoury or both!
Barbecue Invite your friends and family to a barbecue and hope for sunshine! Encourage your guests to bring something to throw on to the barbecue and ask for a donation for your hospitality.
Bingo Get creative and create a bingo sheet tailored for your audience. You could theme it by music, celebrity faces or food or keep it old school with numbers.
Ball Let's get glam. Find a venue and raise money through ticket sales by inviting everyone you know to enjoy a sophisticated evening. It will give people an opportunity to dust off their fanciest outfits!
Birthday fundraising Set up an online fundraising page and ask for donation instead of presents this year. It might also save you from getting unwanted gifts!
Car boot sale When it is time to de-clutter, throw your unwanted treasures in your boot and head down to your local car-boot sale to sell them.
Concert Know some musically talented people or have you got the talent yourself? Hold a music concert in a local venue and ask for a donation for entry.
Carol singing Get festive by organising some carol singing in your community. Invite your friends and family to join in and ask for a donation for entry.
Dinner party Get your friends or family round for a delicious dinner to raise money. Ask for a donation for your hospitality and cook something which won't break the bank.
Dress down day See if you can ditch your suit to go casual for the day and bring in a pound or two to help raise money.
Easter egg hunt Hold a hunt for chocolate and ask people to donate to take part.
Karaoke night Everyone has a secret party piece they're itching to share! So why not grab a microphone and organise a donate-to-enter karaoke contest? Rent out a local karaoke booth or hold a karaoke party at home with friends.
Matched Giving Matched giving is a great way to boost what you raise. Ask your employer if they have a Matched Giving scheme and you could double what you raise from your fundraising activity.
Music night Are you big into music? Why not organise a music night in your local community and fill a venue with pop, rock, jazz or something else!
Quiz night Ask a local pub or your community hall if you can have the venue for free during a quiet night of the week. You can raise money by taking donations for entries to the quiz, and hold a raffle* on the same night to raise even more.
Raffle Holding a raffle* is a great way to raise more money for charity at a fundraising event. You can even ask local businesses if they will donate a prize and sell raffle tickets at your event.
Read-a-thon Challenge yourself or a class to a certain number of reading sessions and get sponsored for charity!
