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.
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!
Holding a raffle is a great way to raise more money for charity at a fundraising event. Local businesses are often happy to donate a prize or even match the total raised!
The New Year is the perfect time for a challenge! Find an organised New Year dip near you and get sponsored.
