Fundraising for your challenge

Online fundraising pages

• We recommend setting up your page using Believe.In (although you can also use Just Giving or Virgin Money Giving if you prefer)

• Share the page on email and social media (you can tweet @TBIF and we can retweet your page)

• Add it to your work intranet/newsletter

• Add it to your email signature

Fundraising at work

• Matched funding (check if your employer is able to match your fundraising or offer a set amount towards it)

• Raffle (be aware of relevant legislation)

• Get local businesses involved

• Host an event in the office

•Old fashioned sponsorship form

Organising and event

• Bake sale, quiz night, gig night (posters available on our website here can be personalised with your event details)

• Dinner party (see www.dinner4good.com/BigIssue)

• Materials and support available from TBIF

Other ideas

• Bag packing/bucket holding at local supermarket

• Taking on challenges/dares for fundraising targets e.g. at £200 I will do… or if you donate £50 you can dare me to…

• Get the kids involved, ask your kids schools to host a non-uniform day and recommend our free schools resources

• Street collection (get permission first)

• Write to your local paper

• Sell things on eBay or at a car boot sale

• Auction of promises

• When you’ve got it, gift aid it!

• Tell people what your money is going to
