Here's some festive fundraising ideas

Host a festive treat sale

Ask friends or colleagues to get baking or donate festive treats like mince pies, gingerbread or chocolates. Then, give them away for a suggested donation or gather everyone and stick the kettle on for some time together.

Festive fancy dress day

Choose a date and dig out your festive jumpers, Santa hats or novelty headgear with your colleagues. People can make a donation to join in, and you can give out prizes for most festive, most creative outfit and most garish jumper.

Create some festive crafts

Crafting can be a great way to find some mindfulness in your day. You could craft some festive cards, decorations, candles or Christmas crackers and give them to friends and family in exchange for a donation. Or, bring your friends together for a couple of hours of crafting fun.
