Raising money for charity should be fun and easy. This makes the likelihood of not being scared off a little less likely, right?
Below are some idea's that are things that you can actively do to spread awareness about our charity without breaking the bank...
Add our logo to your email signatures -
This is a very easy and effective way of supporting CWCF with awareness and getting us 'out there'. It's quick & easy to do and we are happy to send you our logo to do this. Please email media@childrenwithcancerfund.org.uk
Follow us on social media and share our posts -
This sounds far too easy to be really helping right? WRONG! This is one of the most impactful ways you can help CWCF everyday. Whenever you see a social media post of ours, a simple like, comment etc goes a REALLY long way!
Set up a regular donation through Donor Box on our website -
Now this one does require money but if you can spare a little (or a lot depending on your circumstances) we have the option of setting a regular donation on our website. Its quick & very easy to set up. It's one of the best ways of our charity becoming stable with regular donations coming in every month so that we can continue to do what we do. Here's the link to set this up : Children with Cancer Fund Monthly | Children With Cancer Fund Polegate (CWCF) (Powered by Donorbox)
Purchase a Club 100 number -
Did you know we have an amazong CWCF lottery drawn and a lucky winner chosen every month? What a fund way to donate aswell as test your luck to see if you win. £20 for the year (you choose one number that is your number for the year and cross your fingers!) You can sign up for Club 100 here : Club 100 ( 12 Monthly Draws) – Children with Cancer Fund – Polegate
Here at Children with Cancer Fund we believe that fundraising should be the first three letters ... F-U-N! So anything that is a challenege or brings you & others around you join can be a fundraiser.
Here are some imaginative ways for you to support Children with Cancer Fund this year:
Face your fears –
There is nothing better than watching someone do something that they really don’t want to do. Jumping out of a plane, holding a tarantula or abseiling the tallest building in your city are just a few ideas to get your spine tingling! It may not be fun for the fundraiser, but the audience will likely fork out some hefty sponsorships to see it happen and it means that you could conquere a fear or step outside your comfort zone.
Organize a sponsored sporting event –
Sponsored sporting events are always popular for our fundraisers, especially if there’s an extra level of difficulty involved. You can usually organize sporting events yourself or sometimes they can be organized by other groups. There are pros and cons to both options: Events organized by someone else are often easy to partake in. All you need to do is register, train and turn up.
Get sponsored for shaving your hair –
Raising money for charity doesn’t need to be hard! For the brave fundraisers out there, why not get sponsored for cutting your hair off? Getting a head-shave sponsored is a great fundraising idea, and one many people in the office are likely to contribute funds towards! Extra: if the hair is long enough it can be donated to charities that make real hair wigs for patients that have lost their hair.
Go on a recycling hunt –
Climate change is a hot topic… and the increase in plastics going to oceans and landfill is slowly killing the planet. Raise funds for your charity by collecting recyclable items such as crisp packets. Crisp packets can be collected and exchanged for cash donations towards the charity of your choice.
Host an auction night or raffle –
An auction night is a great way to get everyone together. Auction nights are not one of the easiest to organize, but you will definitely reap the rewards.
Wash cars for charity-
One of the easiest charity fundraising ideas you can do, especially in the Summer. Grab a bucket, sponge and have a source of water available – you’re good to go. Find a venue, possibly your office car park if you have one and offer to wash cars for a reasonable fee.
Compete in a marathon event –
Go the extra distance and organize a marathon event. Looking to play the longest ever football match? How does playing 12 hours of table tennis on rotation sound? You may even get some local PR out of this event. Warning, plenty of time is required!
Bake, bake, bake!
A bake-off is a brilliant charity fundraising idea for all ages. If you have a secret recipe ready at hand, people will be flocking towards your cake stand ready to part with their money for a scrumptious treat. Split the load by adding a competitive element, that way people will bring in their own cakes, a panel of judges to pick a winner?
Create a tuck shop –
An unmanned tuck shop is a simple fundraising activity. Simply stock up on some goods and people can help themselves when there is a need for a sugar rush or a munch on some crisps.
Raising money for charity doesn’t have to be difficult. Getting past the first hurdle and coming up with ideas is usually the most difficult stage.
Hopefully you now have plenty of ideas and are in the process of seeing them through for CWCF!
