Fundraising Ideas
If you like to have a little fun with water, you will certainly find this idea the easiest way to fundraise.
Along with many more volunteers like you, choose a community place, a church car park whilst an event is ongoing or after church, offer to wash cars for a reasonable charge, and you will see people flocking to get it done.
Not a very novel idea, but a lucrative one indeed.
Yes, you read that right! Its for a reason that we use the idiom “sells like hot cakes” because cakes definitely do sell.
With just a pinch of decoration, and some delicious homemade cakes, some good cash is flowing your way.
Choose a festive time of the year, for people are likely to buy more at such times.
If not that, candies, crafts, etc., also make for great sales.

It is like a piggy bank thing. You can either do it on an individual or family basis, or or a community basis
Just devote a donation box such as an old smarties tube, and keep making donations every now and then when you come across an unspent coin in your pocket.
Ideal tip – Buy the smartie tubes for your group of church and let adults and children take them on the basis that they will fill them up, you can get around £12 of 20p pieces in a tube.
Sell, sell, sell – sales are a very simple, low-maintenance way to collect donations. Jumble sales and car boots are a good staple, but you can add a competition-factor or twist to increase people’s engagement for example, with a bake-off or a sale of home-made crafts.
Why not offer to do a stall at the Church Fayre, whilst supporting the church and making money it’s a great way of engagement between the Church and Brigade.
You’ve got talent – talent competitions, gigs and fashion shows are a great way to engage supporters from outside your family and friends. Use ticket sales and collection buckets to raise funds for whatever you are collecting for.
A great way to celebrate and show off talent in your company.
Organise a non-uniform/dress down day at your school or workplace – or take it further and get people to come in costume! Ask everyone for a small donation to take part. Or even do a fancy dress at a Brigade evening and pay for the privilege too, and also allows our leaders to dress up too!
