Fundraising Ideas
We rely on voluntary contributions, so by choosing to fundraise for Choices, you are making a huge difference to the lives of so many families. Here we’ve listed a few simple fundraising ideas to get you started. If you need help with your fundraising plans, we would love to hear from you!
Virtual Challenge
Set yourself a target, whether that's running 5km a day for a month, or walking 10k steps a day - whatever your distance and how you choose to do it, let people know and set up a Choices JustGiving page
Have A Clear Out
Take time to declutter and sell your unwanted clothes or items - put them on eBay, or Facebook marketplace or sell at your local car boot sale. Don't forget to tell people that you are raising money for Choices and how much you intend to donate from your sales.
Bake Sale
It's tried and tested - everyone loves a bake sale; a simple and fun way to raise awareness of our work and vital funds in the process.
Fundraise At Work
Join in the fun and celebrate the Olympics this summer; Set some games up for the office and charge an entrance fee.
Host a Quiz night, whether it's at the pub or in your office. Organise an office sweepstake. This is great, particularly for sporting events like Wimbledon.
Sign your team up to take on a physical challenge. This could be a local run or a national half-marathon. Training for an event is great for bringing people together. Why not sign up to an ultra-challenge: https://www.ultrachallenge.com/
Is your employer registered for Payroll Giving? Payroll Giving is an easy, flexible way to give a regular donation to Choices from your gross salary. If you or your employer would like more information please head to the Corporate Fundraising page.
Get involved with your local supermarket
Did you know your local supermarket often has a community champion who organises fundraising activities for charities?
Why not reach out to them and enquire about setting up a bucket collection, charity awareness stand, or bag packing event? It's a great way to support Choices and to get involved in your community!
