Fundraising Ideas

Let's get creative!

We love creative ideas here at Open Door, so why not get creative with fundraising. Whether you want to utilise your existing skills or try something different. You might want to organise a craft fair, a grassroots football tournament, a sponsored bike ride, own clothes day at school, whatever you want to do, we can help you make your fundraising a big success. If you haven’t decided what you want to do yet, don’t worry – get in touch and we can chat through some ideas with you! Below are some more ideas to get your creativity flowing.

Birthday fundraisers

Set up an online fundraising page and ask for donations instead of presents this year – stops you receiving those unwanted gifts while doing something incredible for a worthwhile cause!
