People today will often take it upon themselves to raise money for charity. With so many charities out there, reliant on money from sponsorship, it is a good job that so many people adopt this attitude. Do something for sponsorship is a great way for people to do something a bit out of the ordinary. It's a great way to push yourself to doing something that you wouldn't otherwise do, plus your money goes to a great cause. Everyone's a winner!
There are so many different ways that you can raise money for charity - as long as you promote your event well and give people a reason to sponsor you, you should see the sponsors come flooding in. We've come up with a few ideas to inspire you to organise your very own fundraising event.
If you're feeling brave, you might want to do something like skydiving or a bungee jump. Something that requires an element of bravery is a great way to raise money. By pushing yourself to do something that you wouldn't normally do, people will often be more willing to give you a sponsorship. As a general rule of thumb, the more you push yourself, the more sponsorship you could potentially raise. There are many airfields up and down the country that offer skydiving, and with only a small amount of training you can partake in a tandem skydive.
If you fancy doing something a little less exhilarating, you can opt to set up a bake stall at your school or place of work. If you take the time to make some special cakes or other tasty treats, you can name your price and watch your baked goods fly out. If you put the extra effort in, you can up your prices and raise even more money for charity.
There are all sorts of activities out there that are perfect for sponsoring. If it's something that you wouldn't usually do and it's something that requires a bit of effort and training to complete, people will be more likely to dig deep and give you a sponsor. If you search online, you'll see that there are regular organised runs/walks/cycling events in many towns and cities. They are easy to join up to and they are a really effective way of raising money for your chosen charity.
