Fundraising Ideas for Spring

Spring is in the air, don’t let the grass grow under your feet...  get moving and get the fundraising ball rolling! Make raising money for Walk the Walk fun by doing something you love! 

Take a look at our fresh spring fundraising ideas below for some inspiration: 

• Car Wash
  In the words of the well-known song... "You might not ever get rich"... but you could raise some money working at the car wash! Offer to wash colleagues’, friends’ and family members’ cars in return for a suggested donation... wear your bra T-Shirt or if the spring sun is shining, your decorated bra! How could they refuse!?
• Cake Sale
  Everyone loves cake! Ask a few people to help you bake some yummy delights and exchange them for a donation at work, at school or amongst your friends, family and neighbours.

• Spring Clean
  Feather dusters at the ready! Offer to help your neighbours, friends and family get their houses ship shape this spring, in exchange for a donation of course! YES... some people DO love to clean!

• Teddy Bears’ Picnic
  A really lovely fundraiser if you have children! Organise a picnic in the park for families, ask the children to bring their favourite teddy bear and ask for a donation (from the grown-ups) to come and join in the fun!

• Race Night
  Bring the glitz and glamour of a ‘day at the races’ right to your doorstep (or wherever you choose to hold your event! A race night is great fun and simple to put together... you will need a race DVD, projector (or TV screen), race cards, tickets and of course, the all-important race goers!

• Lawn Mowing
  "Spring has sprung and the grass is riz"...  offer to mow the lawn for friends, family, neighbours and colleagues in return for a donation to your fundraising pot.

• Barn Dance
  Take your partner by the hand... throw a themed party! Invite your friends, organise the dancing, supply refreshments, charge an entrance fee and even pair it with a raffle for an extra fundraising boost!

• Dog Walking
  Offer your services to your dog loving friends and neighbours then head on out for Walkies! The perfect way to raise money and increase training miles at the same time!

• Car Boot Sale / Jumble Sale / eBay
  Sell unwanted stuff... unused gifts, clothes, toys, books, DVDs... it ’s a great way to de-clutter your house and boost your fundraising total!

• Spring Fair
  You will need the use of a school, village or church hall, some exhibitors and will need to do some advertising in the lead up to the event. Charge exhibitors £15 and a donation from everyone else. Approach a variety of exhibitors selling cupcakes, chocolates, jewellery, photography, craft, gifts, greetings cards, cosmetics... the list goes on! One of our Walkers raised an incredible £600 from this alone!
