Tried and tested fundraising ideas
We asked past fundraising heroes what they'd done to smash their fundraising target
“I got a group of friends together and asked them to donate whatever thy could for a bottomless brunch. I bought a few cheap bottle from Aldi – job done!"
Amy
Great North Run
“I’d reached 50% of my target and was struggling in the run up to the event to get donations in. As soon as I told people I’d dress up as a fairy on the day of my hike, it took a week for me to hit 100% of my goal!”
Gary

“My mission for charity was to cycle from London to Paris. I knew I’d need as much help as I could get to raise what I wanted to, so I reached out to a couple of local papers – I still can’t believe how generous strangers can be!”
