Whether it’s a bake sale, quiz or a dinner party, organise your own event to support people sleeping rough.
Register for a guaranteed place in one of our challenge events to keep you motivated throughout the summer months.
This is a classic event where you can get lots of people involved and can take place at different locations, consider your work place, school or church.
Offer services like gardening, tutoring, or dog walking to the highest bidder.
This event can be held anywhere, you can make it interactive by live streaming and offer song requests for sponsorship.
Encourage friends and family to donate in lieu of gifts for your birthday.
The first step is to select a fundraising idea. If you’re still stuck for inspiration, do something you love! Think about what you enjoy, what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about. Find more activity inspiration in our Fundraising Pack.
How much time do you need to organise your event? Keep this in mind when fixing a date. Think about hooking your event onto a special day like Halloween or Valentines.
Next think about whether you need to use a space – could somewhere local like a church hall work? Do you need permission? Consider number of attendees, facilities you may need (chairs/ PA system), accessibility and price.
Online giving pages with a target raise 17% more – so it’s worthwhile having a goal! Even if you’re not fundraising online, set yourself a target and shout about it.. It will give people a reason to be generous – and also, keep you focused. We recommend JustGiving.
Use a JustGiving page to make your fundraising cashless, WhatsApp to promote your fundraising activity and Instagram to post pictures after the event (20% of donations come in after an event has taken place!).
We can send you free St Mungo’s goodies and information to help with your event – t-shirts, collection tins and buckets, leaflets and posters, decorations and stationery. Email fundraise@mungos.org to get yours and download anything you might need from our resource library.
Sharing your page on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and WhatsApp will help you raise more. Let people know about the good stuff you’re doing. And don’t forget about email, there are many people who don’t use social media and this is a great way to connect with colleagues.
