Ideas for fundraising in your community

Whether it’s a coffee morning or raffle, car boot sale or quiz night, fundraising is much more fun in a group, so why not gather your community group, club or society and make a difference to the lives of children and young people when they need it most. 

Support starting your own fundraising group

Get together with like-minded people and start your own fundraising group. We will support you every step of the way. 

Fundraising materials and guidance 

We can offer you:

  • Our fundraising guidebook. 
  • More fundraising materials such as banners, bunting and balloons. 
  • Top tips on how to make the most of your fundraising. 
  • Advice about licences and collections. 

How your fundraising could make a difference

We make sure children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful, by running 760 specialist services across the UK, and campaigning to change the way the system works for the better.

  • £100 could provide materials for 10 memory boxes, which could help young people coping with bereavement.
  • £180 could help pay for a case worker to give life-changing practical support and safety advice to seven young people affected by sexual exploitation.
  • £500 could pay for frontline staff to deliver 10 hours of face-to-face counselling or online support – giving a safe space for a child to talk through their feelings and find practical ways of coping with challenges.
  • £1000 could pay for a full day of training for a group of up to 25 professionals so they can spot the warning signs of sexual exploitation and help children escape dangerous relationships.
