Summer fundraising ideas
Make the most of the warmer days and lighter nights to organise some summer fundraising fun with colleagues, friends and family. From garden parties to golf days, here are six sizzling summer fundraiser ideas to get you started. Enjoy!
Garden gathering
Get your nearest and dearest together this summer and host a Great Garden Get-Together to raise money for young people with cancer.
Car wash
Gather a team of pals, armed with buckets, sponges and plenty of soapy water, and find a suitable spot to hold a charity car wash. You’ll need lots of elbow grease but the rewards could be dazzling.
Open garden
Perfect patio, vibrant vegetable patch or luscious lawn – if your garden is something to shout about, why not open it up to invited guests, in return for a donation?
Afternoon tea
Cucumber sandwiches and scones with cream and jam, anyone? Rustle up some tasty treats, then charge your nearest and dearest to come and enjoy the feast.
Golf day
If you and your friends or colleagues love a round of golf, invite friends and family – or customers and contacts – to tee off in aid of a brilliant cause. Check out some more golf fundraising ideas here.
Sports day
Bring back some of the old school favourites for a classic sports day. The race is on to be the best – but will it be egg and spoon, three-legged, or sack?!
Tips to boost your fundraising
Don’t forget, there are lots of ways to boost your fundraising on the day. If you are holding a tea party or bake sale, why not also hold a ‘Guess the weight of the cake’ competition? Name the teddy and guess number of sweets in the jar always go down well too. Or ask your guests to all bring an unwanted gift and use them as raffle or tombola prizes. Just ensure you stick to the regulations.
