Birthday fundraising

Asking for donations instead of presents for your birthday is not only a great way to help the environment, but a simple way to support the charity too, be it setting up your fundraising event on Facebook or asking for cash.

Get rockin'

Do you love music and getting friends? Whether you’re in a band or know of a local group, hosting a gig night with entry fees as donations is an ideal way to get your community together and feel good with music and dance.

Host a quiz night

Love being taskmaster? Host a quiz night at home or at your local pub and ask for an entry fee donation for the cause. If you can’t get everyone together, Zoom quizzes are still a great way to have fun!

Coffee and cake

A traditional coffee morning whether its with colleagues, neighbours or friends is still a great way to get chatting and bring people together. Sell a couple of cakes or ask for donations to attend, and enjoy some delicious treats!

Create and sell
