Start planning your Summer Fundraiser
If you are thinking of organising your own summer event and are looking for inspiration, support and advice then you are in the right place. We have pulled together a few ideas to get you started.
Summer party
Host a party for your family, friends and neighbours in your garden.Think Tiki bar style or go for the English classic with Pimms and go Spanish style with Sangria! Cake always works well in addition!
Community BBQ
Plan your own barbecue event for the locals! Sell popular summer food and drink, organise games and activities like face painting, treasure hunt – and these don’t need to be for children only!
Sell Ice Cream/Lemonade/Plants/Jam etc
Use your front garden or driveway to sell summer favourites to the locals – weekends are a good time for these!
Concert
You could throw the concert in your own garden, your home or see if a local venue will offer a space for free.
Idea: You could combine all of the above to host an epic fundraiser party!
Outdoor Movie Night
Host an outdoor movie night in your garden. You will need a projector, large white sheet/projector screen, sound system, food, and beverages. If you don’t have access to this equipment, ask your friends and family to reach out to people who might!
Community Yard Sale/Car boot
Host a yard sale or car boot in your community, where proceeds or a percentage, of the sales go directly to us.
Car Wash
Grab some water, soap, a location, and good advertising. Partner with local places to see if you can use their space. Don’t forget to designate one or two sign holders to stand nearby to alert passers by.
