Fundraise for Evergreen
Would you love to support The Evergreen Care Trust but aren't sure where to begin? You're not alone, and the good news is, there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to fundraising! Whether you're a passionate individual, part of a workplace, school, faith group or social club, your creativity and enthusiasm can help improve lives right here in our community.
We’ve seen incredible things happen when people come together for a cause, and we’re here to help you do just that. If you're looking for a little inspiration, we've got plenty of ideas to spark your imagination. Feel free to add your own unique spin too, every fundraiser is special.
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 Spring
Sponsored Walks
Shake off the winter chill and step into spring with our gentle sponsored walk in support of Evergreen. As the flowers begin to bloom and the days grow brighter, it’s the perfect time to enjoy fresh air, light exercise, and good company — all while raising vital funds for older and vulnerable people in our community. Whether you stroll, stride, or take it at your own pace, every step you take helps us continue our work with those who need it most.
Spring Book Swap
Celebrate the season of renewal with our Spring Book Swap — a cosy, community‑minded way to share stories and support Evergreen. Bring along a book you’ve loved, choose a new one to enjoy, and make a small donation to help us continue our services. It’s a simple, joyful event that brings people together, sparks conversation, and gives well‑loved books a second life just in time for the brighter days ahead.
