Top 10 fundraising ideas
If you are not sure what to do, here are a few tried and tested ideas to get your fundraising juices flowing:
1 It’s the taking part that counts Why not organise a sponsored walk, swim, run, bungee jump, sky dive, dog walk, abseil, treadmill, head shave, hair dye, silence, walk in the park, baking session, marathon TV session or sit in a bath full of custard, tomato soup or baked beans?! You can also download an RMHC sponsorship form here. |
6 Spare a little change Organise a collection at a station or high street; but make sure you get permission from the authorities. |
2 Fingers on the buzzers How about a quiz night? You can make this a general entry quiz or tailor the event to fit in with local interest groups. |
7 Have you got the X Factor? Can you and your friends sing, dance or act? Why not organise a talent night? Or organise a fashion show – you could get in touch with a local college to see if they'd like to be involved. |
3 It’s all in the bag Ask the manager at your local supermarket or store if you could organise a bag-packing event. Get a team together to help pack shopping away and take some money shakers and buckets with you. |
8 Going once…going twice… Hold anauction; ask local businesses, celebrities, football clubs or other organisations to donate items. Why not hold an office auction? Bid for a day off, the use of the boss’ office or a week of dressing down. Or get everyone to sponsor the boss to work on reception for an hour! |
4 One lump or two? You can hold a coffee morning at home, at work, at school, in the community, anywhere! Make lots of coffee (maybe get some cakes in too) and invite friends, family, colleagues and neighbours! |
9 Just one click Set up an online donation page on www.justgiving.com/rmhc/raisemoney and mail the link to everyone you know who can then donate online, quickly and easily. |
5 Go on, have a guess How about a simple competition such as guess the name of the cuddly toy or how many sweets in a jar? |
10 And finally Whatever you do, remember to have fun and get everyone you know involved. Fundraising events are a great way to bring people together!
