Put the ‘fun’ into fundraising and bring your community together to make a difference. Why not host a bake sale, or a games night or lace up your trainers for a sports competition. Get your work together for a coffee morning or host a dinner party or BBQ with friends.

Our top tips for making your event a success!!

• Be creative – make your stall, or party unique using the location or decorations.
• Use The Charity colours.
• Have a theme for the event and encourage food and friends to come accordingly.
• Run competitions like ‘guess the cake weight’, how many sausages can you BBQ in a set time or even best dressed at the dinner party!

“In 2019 5 friends and I ran the Paris Marathon for my Auntie Gillian Lee, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2015. We decided to hold a bake sale in the University Student Union area. We spread the word via social media but also got our course mates and lecturers to get involved.

The turnout could not have been better, with a number of students, university staff, friends, family and even businesses donating baked cakes. At the end of the day with left over cakes, we approached our local Lloyds Banking Group branch who agreed to purchase them.“

Harry raised £448 from his cake sale which helped towards his Paris Marathon fundraising target.
