Organising your own fundraising event is easier than you think. We have over 200 people helping the charity is this way already, but we need more.

If you would like to contact someone who has already set their own fundraising event, call us and we'll put you in touch.

Here is a list of ideas that have worked successfully for others.

Coffee/Tea Morning

A coffee/tea morning is an inexpensive way to raise funds. These events:
Provide an information social occassion for friends and neighbours
Enable you to tell people about the cause
Allow visitors to make donations in return for the refreshments you provide


Sponsored Sporting Events

Organised sponsored golf, walks, runs, swims. The charity can provide sponsorship forms for you.



Car Boot/Garage Sale

An opportunity to clear unwatned items around the house -- and your nieghbours' too. Advise in the free local newspaper, local shops, hospitals or through local groups. We can offer you ways to makw sure people know what the event is raising money for.



Sponsored Social Event (Quiz, Party, Dinner)

A good social event that's helping a good cause can be a strong combination -- the secret of success is ensuring people enjoy themselves.



School Adoption

If your school would like to adopt the charity, we will be pleased to provide updated talks and information, and suggest s specific project for you to support.



Dress Down Day at Work

Ask your employer to have a Dress Down Day once a week or month. This allows employees to dress causually in return for a small donation. If this event was held regularly we can also suggest a specific project to support.



Business Sponsorship

Sponsors support the charity so that public donations can be used for their intended purpose. If your company could support us in any way, gifts in kind, resources, or a donation, we would be pleased to hear from you.



Collecton Boxes

The charity has collection boxes that we can provide for your office or shop.
