There is lots of flexibility with fundraising and it is really appreciated by charities.  It is worth checking if your employer will match your donation.

  • Take part in a challenge or sponsored events: running; cycling; other challenges

  • Volunteer at a fundraising event: One off Help – We often receive requests for volunteers to help local charities on an ad-hoc basis. This is usually just for a day or two for a specific event or campaign. The actually activity that you will be asked to help with can vary.

  • Organise a collection of in-kind support (please check first to see exactly what is needed):

Points to Remember when Team Volunteering

  • Agree a date well in advance – to fit with you and your host

  • Think about the size of your team – sometimes smaller is better

  • Be clear on costs – there is a fixed charge for some team days, in particular for large teams, to cover staff time.  Some organisations may request a contribution towards materials.

  • Before the day – do you know where the activity will take place; who is your contact on the day; what clothes should be worn; are refreshments provided?

  • Volunteer safely – do you understand the risk assessment for the activity?  Is insurance in place?

  • Take lots of photos – share them with your colleagues, friends and family to generate great publicity for the charit
