Fundrasing

Why not get your work colleagues, friends and family, or any groups and clubs of which you're a member involved. It's all for a great cause.

What makes a good fundraising opportunity?

Anything can be a good fundraising opportunity. What would you like to do? A dinner party, a film screening, van pulling and drastic haircuts? Or come up with your own idea?

Some things to consider:

  • Is it going to be a sponsored activity or are you hosting an event?
  • What do you enjoy?
  • Can anyone help you?

Do think about how much time and effort you can spend on planning and organising the event. Remember, you're doing a good thing for charity, but it should be fun too.

6 popular fundraising events

1. The Great Cake Bake

Encourage your colleagues to bring in home-baked (or shop-bought) goodies to sell in the office. It’s a simple way to raise money and will perk up the morning coffee break.

2. Get quizzical

Quiz nights take place in pubs across the UK and are always popular. Why not organise your own and raise funds for Age Cymru Gwynedd a Môn?

3. Throw a party

Perhaps a themed dinner party, a murder mystery evening, games night, karaoke, barbeque – if it gets people together, it can be a fundraiser.

4. Sponsored anything

  • Swim, walk, run, silence and pie eating! Most things can be sponsored so the choice is yours. What would your friends and colleague consider an absolute challenge or daring? Maybe they think you're inseparable from your iphone or unable to not get the car everywhere. Prove them wrong and some raise money for older people.

5. Go wild

Let your imagination run wild - the more creative the more publicity you may get and the more people might support you, is there a world record you could attempt or something that could involve all your work colleagues?

6. Fundraise online
