Ideas for events and fundraisers

Looking for inspiration to organise your own event or fundraiser? Here are some of the most popular and impactful ideas to get you started:

Charity Runs or Walks

Organise a sponsored run or walk in your local area. Encourage participants to gather sponsorships from friends, family, and colleagues. This is a great way to promote health and fitness while raising funds for a worthy cause.

Bake Sales or Coffee Mornings

Host a bake sale or coffee morning at your local community centre, school, or workplace. Invite people to bake and donate goods, and sell them to raise funds. It’s a delicious way to bring people together and support local charities.

Sponsored Challenges

Take on a sponsored challenge, such as a marathon, cycling event, or even a skydiving adventure. These challenges can attract significant sponsorships and create a buzz around your fundraising efforts.

Themed Parties or Dinners

Host a themed party or dinner event, such as a fancy dress party, quiz night, or gala dinner. Sell tickets in advance and offer prizes for the best-dressed attendees or quiz winners. These events can be both entertaining and lucrative.

No matter what type of event or fundraiser you choose, remember that every effort counts. Your creativity and dedication can make a huge difference in supporting Suffolk charities. Get started today and inspire others to join in the cause!
