Just like the flowers blooming and the birds singing, your fundraising efforts are growing stronger every day. Whether you’re stepping up your training, planning an event, or rallying support from friends and family, now is the time to shake off the winter blues and make a real impact. Let’s embrace the energy of spring and turn those fundraising goals into reality!

Here are some fun and fresh fundraising ideas for April:

Easter-Themed Fundraising Fun

  • Host an Easter Egg Hunt – Organise a fun-filled egg hunt for kids (or adults!) and ask for a donation to take part. You can even add bonus challenges or clues for extra excitement!
  • Bake and Sell Easter Treats – Whip up some chocolate nests, hot cross buns, or bunny-shaped biscuits and sell them to friends, family, or colleagues.
  • Easter Quiz – Put together a themed hamper with chocolates, candles, and springtime goodies as a prize and maybe even run a raffle on the day.

 Spring Clean & Declutter for Donations

  • Sell Unwanted Items – Have a clear-out and sell any pre-loved clothes, books, or homeware on platforms like eBay, Vinted, or Facebook Marketplace, then donate the proceeds to your fundraising page.
  • Go to a Car Boot or have Yard Sale – Get your neighbours involved and turn it into a community event!

Earth Day Fundraising (Monday, 22 April)

  • Pledge an Eco-Challenge – Go plastic-free, reduce waste, or cycle instead of drive for a week—ask for donations during the challenge!
  • Community Clean-Up – Gather a group to pick up litter in your local park or beach while raising awareness and donations for your fundraising page. (TIP: Don’t forget to use your QR Code – it makes it so much easier for people to make a donation to your page).
  • Plant and Grow for Donations – Start selling homegrown flowers, herbs, or plants in exchange for donations.

Get Social & Spread the Word

  • Share Your Fundraising Story – Post updates on your page and social media about why you’re fundraising and how others can support you. (TIP: Remember to keep your page updated)
  • Spring-Themed Selfie Challenge – Snap a photo while out training, with blooming flowers, among the trees or simply out and about, then encourage friends to donate to your page. TIP: why not share your pictures on our Facebook page as well?
