Fundraise

There are so many events you could organise, like a:

• Competition
• Physical challenge
• Sponsored silence

Get creative and ask family and friends for ideas, or visit our website for more inspiration!

Once you’ve decided on your event, it’s time to decide when and where.

You will also need to think about what help you’ll need with your event, such as help setting up or clearing up after your event.

If you’re doing a bake sale, you may need friends, family or neighbours to make extra cakes. If you’re doing a challenge, you may need support to set up a fundraising page (we advise using Just Giving).

Now, you need to advertise your event. You could, for example, create posters and put them up (asking permission, if necessary). You could also share the details (safely) on social media, and talk to family, friends and neighbours about your event.

Remember to ask permission for putting up posters.

Think about what you need to do to prepare for your event.

Do you need to:

• Choose your recipes and start baking? (and add a list of ingredients to your sale on the day in case of allergies)
• Keep training for a challenge?
• Contact local businesses for donations if you’re collecting items?

Think it through carefully and make sure everyone knows what they need to do for the day itself.

You need to manage your fundraiser on the day.

Here are some things to think about:

• Give yourself plenty of time to set up.
• Make sure all your helpers know what time to be there and what they need to do.
• Arrange for an adult to help keep any cash/items safe during the event.
• Clearly signpost your event to people.
• Make sure people know you’re fundraising for the RSPCA

Remember to Celebrate your achievements and recognise the efforts from other people that donated and helped.
