Fundraising ideas for clubs
Bring your club together to support Teenage Cancer Trust. Whether you’re a school, college, church or community group, these fundraising ideas for clubs will provide all the inspiration you need to get your charitable efforts into full swing.
Themed events
If you’ve got a venue at your disposal, why not hold a themed event and fling open the doors to friends, family and the wider community? Sell tickets and lay on paid-for refreshments to boost your fundraising total. Find more ideas in our event fundraiser ideas.
Extreme challenges
From sponsored group hikes to swimming the Channel, taking on an extreme fundraising challenge as a club or group is a surefire way of raising vital money for Teenage Cancer Trust. Whatever challenge you choose, it’ll be a bold and unforgettable means of supporting our important cause.
Selling services or skills
How about volunteering to pack bags at your local supermarket in return for a donation to Teenage Cancer Trust? Or what about a community car wash? Round up your club’s members and find jobs in your area that will help bring in the pounds for young people in need of our help.
Marathon events
Whether your club is taking part in a group game-a-thon or taking on a 24-hour treadmill relay challenge, these events are well suited to club fundraising. And with multiple people gathering sponsorship at once, it has the potential to bring in plenty of cash for teenagers and families affected by cancer.
Workshops
From pottery to sushi making, how about hosting a charity workshop? It can be a one-off or a series of events spanning different areas of creativity. Find interesting volunteers to run the workshops and charge your clubgoers a fee to enter. It’s a great opportunity to try something out of the ordinary.
Obstacle courses
Create a DIY obstacle course or hire one out for this club fundraising idea. Ask participants for donations to enter the challenge or get them to gather sponsorship in the run-up to the event. It’s a fun team-building idea that will also bring in vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Lock-ins
This is a fantastic fundraising idea for school and church groups, as well as clubs like Brownies and Cubs. Open your usual venue, or source somewhere new, for a ticketed overnight sleepover. Lay on a variety of midnight snacks and entertainment for eager campers.
Quiz nights
Line up the brain teasers and hold an evening of quizzing fun for your club in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. You could even theme it around your club. Ask participants to pay a fee to enter and approach local businesses for prizes for the top three teams.

Step challenges
Whether you take on our 15,000 steps in a day challenge or set up a different walking mission, this is a fantastic fundraising idea for clubs. Not only will it help ensure that no young person faces cancer alone, but it will also bring out people’s competitive spirit and give their fitness a boost. Set up an online leaderboard to log results and watch the competition take off.
Sporting fundraisers
Whether you’re already a sports club or another type of group, a sporty fundraising idea is always a good idea. How about a novelty football tournament? Table tennis competitions can also be a great idea and are relatively straightforward to set up. And it doesn’t have to only involve club members, you can open charity sporting events up to friends, family and the wider community, too. Find more inspiration in our guide to sports team fundraising, or download our sporting challenge documents and assets.
Bake sales
This classic fundraising idea is a great fit for most clubs. Get volunteers to bake the cakes and sell them to hungry guests at an organised coffee morning or a stall in your community.
