Organise Your Own Event - Children on the Edge

Whether you’re fundraising on your own, or as part of a club, school or faith group, organising an event can be a great way to support Children on the Edge. You’ll find some ideas and inspiration below, but you can be as creative as you like!

IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED

Organise a bake sale or coffee morning as part of our Big Cake Bake. Download our Fundraising Pack for everything you need, including posters and recipes.
If you have the space, why not host a dinner, or garden party and sell tickets? You could include a raffle or auction too.
Use your skills and donate your time to running a class. Local fitness or sports coach? Offer a session in exchange for donations.
Do you play an instrument or have links to a local band or choir? Could you host a concert or performance in aid of Children on the Edge?

Whatever you decide, you’ll be helping to educate and protect some of the worlds’ most marginalised children, ensuring they are able to thrive.
