START YOUR RAISE

Scroll down for fundraiser ideas, but remember you can do it any way you like! So, feel free to get creative with it ;)

COME TOGETHER!

  • Organise a group bake sale, a BBQ or even a culinary extravaganza of food from around the world. This is a great opportunity to try out all your friends’ favourite dishes! As well as proceeds from sales, you can even turn it into an event and donate entry fees.

  • Host an auction with items donated by local businesses, artists, or community members… You could do it in person or online!

  • OK, this is definitely more of a summer idea, but you’d be amazed how satisfying it is watching cars drive away from you sparkly clean!

  • Got a bit of a following? Livestream your gaming on Twitch or your makeup tutorial on TikTok and ask people to donate

  • Who doesn’t love a good trivia night? Flex your knowledge AND raise money for a good cause! You could even have a mental health question category.

  • Got a skill you’d love to share? Offer a workshop or class, like yoga, cooking, or crafts, with participation fees donated.

  • Gather all the creatives and let’s put on a show where entry fees and profits are donated!

  • Create a puzzle or escape room experience, with teams donating to participate

  • Host a bingo night with prizes, with proceeds from card sales going to charity

  • Fancy a game? Board or video games - your call! Host a tournament featuring your favourite board or video games, with entry fees donated!

GET ACTIVE!

  • Sign up for an event like a 5k, 10K, a half marathon, or even a FULL marathon if that’s your thing!

  • Are you ambitious? Do some research into the weird and wild world of world record breaking! You could ask for donations to participate, or raise money simply for the attempt. Do you think you could break the record for most people together dressed as fruit of 629?

  • There are loads of places that set records for most pizza eaten or arcade games - try to break one of your local records!

  • You can double donate, and send your unneeded hair off to another charity. :)
