Community Fundraising Tips
Make your community fundraising event or activity the best it can be by using our Community Fundraising Guide.
The guide includes an abundance of useful advice that will help you ensure that your event or activity is both legal and well-planned, leaving you more time to enjoy yourself.
Fundraising can be small and simple, such as a coffee morning or group walk. It can also be BIG and high profile. Smaller events raise money that we use to help deliver day to day activities. We use larger donations for staff costs, developing new services and activities and helping to pay our operating costs. We appreciate every penny we receive from fundraising and we spend it very carefully.
What we spend £5 on:
- One item for a care package or winter pack.
- Travel for one person for a group session such as a support group.
- Phone costs for a staff member for a month
- Ticket for someone to attend an event.
What we spend £50 on:
- Venue hire for an awareness raising event.
- One training session for a volunteer to learn about sickle or learn first aid.
- A DBS check for one volunteer to ensure they comply with safeguarding.
What we spend £100 on:
- Staff time to work on an advocacy case with a person with sickle.
- Refreshment and travel for one session where people can meet friends and get support.
- Printing for information flyers or leaflets for an event.
