Fundraising ideas
There’s a reason why the word ‘fun’ can be found in ‘fundraising’! We’re looking for people who love to support a good cause and have fun while doing it.
For inspiration read about some of the incredible ways that our fundraising heroes have raised money for us.
The sky’s the limit in what you could do to raise much-needed funds for Care for the Family and make a huge difference to people’s lives – just a small amount can go a long way.
- £20 can pay for a bereaved person to attend one of our hope giving day events.
- £50 can help subsidise a family building break for a single parent family
- £350 helps to provide a trained befriender for a parent of a child with additional needs
Here are a few events ideas to get you started:
Enjoy baking? Why not hold a Care for a Cupcake fundraiser! Stock up on some yummy treats, invite your friends over, and they can buy a cupcake while sharing a tea or coffee with you.
Enjoy the great British tradition of Sunday lunch while raising money. Instead of going to a restaurant for a family meal, cook a roast at home and get everyone to donate the cost of their meal to Care for the Family.
Love running? You could run to raise much needed funds. Take part in some well known running events such as BUPA 10K, or even the London marathon.
When celebrating an occasion such as an anniversary or birthday, we’ve found that many people have used it as an opportunity to ask for donation in lieu (or as well as!) a present. It’s a simple and personal way to celebrate a special day.
Hold a quiz or mastermind tournament and charge a small entry fee. Encourage friends to get into teams and get competitive. The internet has some great quiz questions for free.
Contact local shops and businesses and ask them to donate some items for a charity auction. Invite work colleagues, family and friends so they can bid to their heart’s content.
Sell all those unwanted household items on Ebay. Care for the Family is now raising funds on Ebay. Click here to find out how.
