Want to raise some money for Inspire but have no idea where to start? We’ve rounded up some ideas to get you started.
But this is only the beginning. Anyone is welcome to come up with their own fundraising idea, just like these students who took on a Race Against The World inspired challenge, or holding a dinner dance.
Any money raised is absolutely vital to carrying on the work we do – helping young people find their true purpose.
Get Personal
Ever fancied shaving your hair off? Can’t remember what you look like without a beard? Use the opportunity to change your image, and get others involved by sponsoring you!
Hold an event
The end of summer is rapidly approaching, so it’s nice to have something to look forward to now the days are getting colder and darker. Whether you want to go big with a ball, or small with a quiz night, it’s a chance to get people together and raise money for those that need it most.
Bake Sale
It’s traditional, but it’s for a very good reason. It’s low effort, can get all the family involved, and everyone loves cake! Get in the spirit of The Great British Bake Off and see who will take the Star Baker title while raising money for a great cause.
Steps Challenge
We should all be taking more steps in our lives. While the health benefits of taking 10,000 a day are enormous, the average person in the UK is doing just 3,000 to 4,000. So why not set yourself a step challenge for a month, and for every day you reach it, donate £1 to Inspire. It’s the perfect opportunity to get fit and fundraise.
Add a swear box to your workplace
Do you work somewhere where the language is a bit blue and could do with some cleaning up? Why not add a swear box with a list of fines for all the bad words used.
Give something up
Got a terrible energy drink habit? Absolute fiend for a lunchtime chocolate bar? Try giving up a vice for a month, and donate the money you would have spent? Good for you, and good for charity!
Why Inspire?
Inspire has been working with young people for over 10 years – and our work really does save lives.
Not only do we offer free counselling to people aged between 16-25, we also host a number of safe spaces, as well as a number of different programmes that get young people in to work, training or education. For more information, check out our Youth Employment Service or Thrive – the Personal Development Service.
