Your Own Event

Everything you need to organise or find inspiration for your own fundraising event for 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!

Our fundraising team is here to support you every step of the way. Contact us at fundraising@childrenontheedge.org or call 01243 538530 or use the form below.

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. 

ROWING FOR REFUGEES IN A TIN BOAT

81-year-old retired army Major Mick Stanley was so moved when he saw the crisis unfolding in Ukraine that he decided to take to the water in his homemade boat; 'The Tintanic', and raise money to support Ukrainian refugees.

INSPIRATIONAL YOUNG FUNDRAISERS

Our youngest supporters have the best ideas! Edie joined a local garage sale trail selling her old toys and homemade cakes. Sisters Alba and Adya climbed a mountain and two school friends Finley and Jensen ran 5km; all for Children on the Edge. 

ALUMNI REUNION EVENT

A group of alumni Body Shop employees from the 1990’s hosted a reunion event with a throwback quiz, a raffle and an auction. Our CEO, Rachel Bentley was invited along to speak and the event was a huge success, raising £5000!

FOOTBALL FUN

Staff from The Body Shop company organised a fundraising football match to raise funds for Children on the Edge. One department took on another in an epic head to head derby for the winners trophy. The cheering crowds enjoyed popcorn, candy floss, goody bags and a great raffle.
