Run your own event
These are some of the many ways that you could run or take part in fundraising event under your own steam.
In some cases you will be the organiser and we will support you in your efforts. In other cases, you simply take part in activities run by others at a time that suits you - all you need to do is raise the required sponsorship and arrange a date.
Either way, we value your support and would love to hear how you get on - you can email us with your success stories (and pictures) and we will publish the best ones in Your stories.
Do your own thing

This is a relatively simple way of raising funds, a bit different and good fun. It can take place at any social evening where you have a minimum of 25–30 people, but it is particularly successful at dinner-dances involving large numbers.

Ask a local shop (or a clothing manufacturer if there's one in your area) to help you stage a fashion show. Plan this thoroughly so that you can exploit all its money-making possibilities like programme advertising, advance ticket sales and a raffle.
