Ten smiling fundraising ideas

There are lots of different ways you can raise money for Lindsey
Lodge Hospice, but we suggest you choose the one that you will
enjoy the most! It's also a good idea to keep it simple and involve
friends to help you where you can. Here are some popular ideas.

 

1. Dress for a smile
Get colleagues involved by asking them to pay to wear
something different to work for a day.

2. Team quiz smile
Organise a quiz in your local pub or social club with lots
of funny questions. You can charge entry for each team
and get prizes donated. Many pubs or social clubs will
be happy to support you as the event will bring them
extra customers.

3. Quiz sheet smile
Organise a quiz sheet with questions to make people
smile or mystery celebrity smile pictures. Hand it out at
work or in your local pub or social club. You can charge
for each entry and get prizes donated.

4. Auction smiles
Auction lots that make people smile! These could range
from two hours of dog walking to theatre tickets, meals
in local restaurants or mowing your neighbour’s lawn.
You could even auction someone’s skills – e.g.
decorating. You could hold it at home or in a local
venue and charge a small entrance fee. Make sure
you have got plenty of lots to auction and get local
publicity to encourage people to attend.

5. Make a meal of smiles
Prepare a fun meal and invite your friends and
neighbours – for a price! You could also run
a mini-raffle or auction during dinner to provide
additional entertainment and raise money.

 

6. Social smile
Hold a party, BBQ or coffee morning. Charge people to attend and organise a raffle.Everyone will have a great time and the money raised will make a real difference to Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

7. Sporty smile
If you are part of a sports club, golf club or fitness centre, you could organise a charity football match, golf day or fancy dress sports challenge. Maybe your club has one already and you could nominate Lindsey Lodge to be the benefiting charity?

8. Bake a smile
Bake a smile cake or biscuits for your colleagues, friends and neighbours – for a price!

9. Musical smiles
Arrange a session of music and laughter. A singer or two, some jokes and sketches. Charge people to attend and organise a raffle. Everyone will have a great time and the money raised will make a real difference to Lindsey Lodge Hospice

10. Collect a smile
Get permission to collect from your local supermarket, pub, football club, train station, theatre, cinema or shopping centre. But remember you need to contact us before organising a collection to ensure it does not clash with existing collections.
