Fundraising can be daunting and challenging at times...
...HAVE NO FEAR, THE IDEAS ARE HERE...
• Make a funky donation box, with a description of what you’re doing and why! Put it in communal spaces or
reception (with consent of course...)
• Bike mechanic buddy? Bring them along to do lunch time bike fixing for a donation
• Kick it old school and have a cake sale! Everyone loves cakes, so rally a few keen bakers together. Sell em’ throughout the day and - booooom - money raised!
• Have a raffle at work! The prizes could be from other people at work or friends - you’d be surprised what people have and are willing to offer!

• Work or volunteer with local community groups? Together you could hold an event, a party, host a stall at a fair or throw a BIG dinner party open to the public!
• Part of a class? Collaborate with your yoga, tennis, ultimate frisbee or pilates teachers to have a fundraising session
• Contact local bike shops to ask if their mechanics would be up for a DIY bike fixing session to raise money
• Cluttered house? Hold a car boot sale with a sign saying where the proceeds going - spring clean fundraising! Two birds, one stone…

• Auction of promises! (Sounds fancy, right?) Dream up a list of things you can offer in exchange for a donation. Think of your niche skills as well as your work trade, but don't forget to include stuff like cleaning someone's kitchen, weeding the garden, babysitting their children, helping with shopping or cooking them a meal. Very popular!
• Dinner parties! Choose a date and location, invite your friends and cook a banging meal for a set price or donation. A dinner also gives you a chance to chat about the cause and have fun!
• Raffles... Rally together people you know with ‘prizes’ from their resources. Hairdresser - ask for a haircut for the raffle! Artist - a print or painting! And so on. Everyone buys a ticket for a donation or a set amount... You could even integrate this into a dinner party evening.
• Parks! These are big free spaces so organise a game of rounders, frisbee, football, etc. and ask for donations.
• Have a party! Ask for a donation on the door or in advance, explain the cause, have a dance. Buy cheap booze so you can sell
fancy-looking cocktails - you get the idea! Combine with a raffle for maximum money-gathering!
