What charity fundraising activities are you most likely to give to?

Dave asked:

I need to think of idea to raise money for our chosen charity.

I don’t like getting “sponsors” from family and friends so what else can I do that will get our chosen charities loads of money?

Are you doing this on a small or a large scale? You need to expand more to get better answers. Obvious ideas to raise money are to put on an event – dinner, dance and have a raffle, or have an auction.

Our organisation has a webshop with links to various retailers (amazon, m & s, comet, etc.) who give us commission when people make purchases. It’s fantastic, and what’s more, it’s free! It takes only a few minutes to set up, and there is no maintenance required. Feel free to have a look at ours…

and if you if you decide to sign up via our site we will earn a pound, too!

london marathon. You could ask your work colleagues to sponsor you. Pub quiz. Combining drinking with charity is always good. But not a tibetan bike ride. Too steep.
