Ideas for your fundraiser
Host a Tea Party
Hosting a tea or coffee morning is a classic and heartwarming way to gather people together while raising funds. Add in a bake sale, and you've got a perfect recipe for connection and generosity. Or perhaps try something a bit different like a bingo night or a book collection drive—both are great for engaging communities and creating fun experiences with purpose.
In the Workplace
Your workplace can become a hub of charitable energy with just a few simple activities. Dress-down days are always a hit, as is the idea of donating your daily coffee money for a good cause.
A lunchtime quiz can bring colleagues together in a friendly competition while supporting Evergreen’s mission. If your team is active, why not promote a cycle-to-work challenge? And for a dose of quirky charm, host an “ugly jumper day” to get everyone involved. Even virtual events offer exciting ways to fundraise remotely, making participation easier than ever.
Personal Challenges
Fundraising can be as active or as creative as you choose. Whether you take on a sponsored run, cycle challenge, or even a scenic walk for charity, your efforts will directly support our work in the community. Prefer something a little more cozy? Organise a charity dinner party, host an Evergreen Tea Party, or take on a personal challenge like “Dry January”, or any other month you fancy. The options are endless, and every effort makes a meaningful impact.
Fundraising this Autumn
Host a Soup & Roll Night
Bring friends, family, or your community together this autumn by hosting a Soup and Roll Night. It’s a simple yet heart-warming way to raise funds while celebrating the season’s comforts. Invite guests to sample a variety of homemade soups and fresh bread rolls in exchange for a donation to your chosen cause. You can keep it casual or get creative, host a “best soup” contest, set up a tasting table, or theme the evening around local flavours. It’s a fun, affordable way to connect with others and make a real difference, one bowl at a time.
Create a seasonal Hamper Raffle
Celebrate the season of giving with a Seasonal Hamper Raffle! Fill a basket with autumn-inspired treats, think spiced jams, cosy candles, hot chocolate, chutneys, or locally sourced goodies, and sell raffle tickets to raise funds for your cause. You could even invite local businesses or community members to donate items to make the hamper extra special. It’s a simple, feel-good way to spread festive cheer, spark a bit of excitement, and support a great cause all at once. One lucky winner gets a beautiful hamper, but everyone helps make a difference!
