Fundraising ideas

Raise money with a sponsored event 

Here are some ideas for events you could organise to raise money for Age UK.

Get your work colleagues involved, round up your friends and family and involve any groups and clubs of which you're a member. It's all for a great cause.

Anything can be a good fundraising opportunity. What would you like to do? A Dinner Party, a raffle, a cake sale – these are all tried and tested favourites but by all means let your imagination go wild!

Do think about how much time and effort you can spend on planning and organising the event.

  • Is it going to be a sponsored activity or are you hosting an event?
  • What do you enjoy?
  • Where do your talents lie?
  • Can anyone help you?

Remember, you are doing a good thing for charity but it should be fun too.

Event ideas

The Great Cake Bake

Encourage your colleagues to bring in home-baked (or shop-bought) goodies to sell in the office. It’s a simple way to raise money and will perk up the morning coffee break.

Get quizzical

Quiz nights take place in pubs across the UK and are always popular. Why not organise your own and raise funds for Age UK?

Throw a party

Dinner party, fancy dress, games night, karaoke, barbeque – the world is your oyster. Impress your guests with your hosting skills and charge them a small donation for the food or games.

Sponsored anything

Swim, walk, run, silence, pie eating! Most things can be sponsored so the choice is yours.

Go wild

Let your imagination run wild - your event can involve absolutely anything you can think of.
