Fundraising ideas

A

Auction

Hold an auction of people who can spring clean homes, wash cars or spruce up gardens. A great fundraising idea for schools, students and youth groups! Make sure you chase up the highest bidders for a donation that can make double the difference. 

B

Bake off!

Hold a cake competition by baking a cake and get your friends and colleagues to bake too. Ask someone to judge the winning treat, sell what’s left after the tasting and auction the winning entry.

Bike ride

Set yourself a challenge and get on your bike for charity!

C

Coffee morning


A coffee morning will give people a chance of a catch up chat and a caffeine hit with a sugary treat. 

Collection Jar

Place a collection box on your desk, home or workplace and put your spare change in there.

Darts Tournament

All you need is a dart board, darts and a space to hang in.
