There are so many ways that you can raise funds for us. Maybe you want to go it alone and take on a personal challenge, or perhaps you could get a whole team behind it.
Check out the different ways below that you could help us to raise funds. Don't forget every penny we receive goes directly to supporting the children.
Keep a Child Challenge
Our Keep a Child Warm Challenge Week is usually held in the last week of January, but you could do this whenever you like!
The challenge is simple. Put on as many items of clothing as you can in just ONE MINUTE.
We've had schools, cheerleaders, Scouts, Rainbows, family groups and friends taking part in the past.
If you are interested in taking part, take a look at our pack. It's complete with a sponsor form, a few tips and everything else that you might need to take part. Please also be sure to let us know so that we can celebrate your fundraising on our social media.
Fundraising Ideas
Whether you are a school, business, or a group of friends, there are so many ways to help!
From traditional fundraisers like cake sales, car washes, or coffee mornings, to personal sponsored challenges and large events, there are ways for anyone to get involved in fundraising!
We are really grateful for financial donations, and we love to hear about what you get up to, so please feel free to get creative with your fundraisers and be sure to tell us all about them!
If you would rather organise practical item collections, please visit the link below to our Forget-Me-Notts page for a specific list of cost-of-living support items and things that we are always in need of.
Collection Boxes
We've been using collection boxes for years and they are a tried and tested way of bringing in a steady trickle of money.
Don't worry - you won't be shaking a moneypot on the street. We provide you with some collection boxes and a pack authorising you to collect on our behalf. Then you look around the places you visit; your local corner shop, grocer, coffee shop.... the list is endless. Ask around to see if they would be willing to have a collection box near the till for loose change. Usually you will only need to go back every couple of months to change to box over for an empty one. You then count the money and cash it in at the bank (or drop it in at the office, whichever is closer).
Get in touch if you'd like to find out more about how you can raise funds with Collection Boxes.
