Fundraise with your community
Can you help inspire people in your community to donate to Fight Bladder Cancer? There are so many ways that you might be connected to your community and can help – whether it is asking for a collecting slot with friends outside your local supermarket, or linking your hobbies to fundraiser for us – such a playing sport, or playing in a brass band!
Not everyone likes organising things – so if you don’t want to there are always things going on in local community organisations that you can ‘jump onto’ such as pub quizzes for charity or car washes in partnership with local scouts and girl guides. It’s often just a question of asking.
We can provide materials, leaflets and collecting buckets and are on hand to give you support.
Community fundraising ideas
- Are you a baker? How about a cake sale or / coffee morning at your local social group, sports club, church etc
- Community music / arts event – are you part of a local group who likes to perform? Perhaps they would get behind you and Fight Bladder Cancer and put on a show?
- Are you a community crafter? Maybe you can knit, sew, stick, paint with a group of friends and sell your items to benefit us? We would happily share your products on our social media platforms.
- Do you know a local restaurant or café who might donate a percentage or fixed cost for a specific dish to FBC? You’d be surprised that local food outlets really enjoy doing this. Some Fight Bladder Cancer supporters filled a curry restaurant and raised over £1,000 in one night.
- Set up a local jumble / car boot sale, sell tables / spaces and invite people to sort out items they no longer require for recycling.
- If you play darts - how about organising a darts match and charging for entry? Your local pub might like to sponsor the event as it will benefit their bar takings!
- Packing at your local supermarket – get in touch with your local store. You’ll be surprised they often offer slots for charities. All you need are a bunch of friends to volunteer to pack bags, in exchange for a donation to the charity. We can supply collecting buckets, bibs, posters and flyers.
