Get Creative…
and take your fundraising virtual!
Whether you had fundraising plans ready to go, or are looking for new ways to support us, these uncertain times may have affected your activities, but don’t let that stop you.
Now’s the time to make your fundraising a huge success by turning it into a virtual fundraiser at home.
You can host it with friends and family over video chat, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom or other online platforms. Why not get everyone involved in a virtual afternoon tea, virtual cook-a-long, or an online karaoke night? Have fun with everyone and ask for a small donation to be made to your Just Giving Page.
Virtual Book Club
Virtual book clubs are in! If you’re already part of a book club, why not take it online? Or set up your own. Ask friends and family to donate what you would’ve spent on drinks and snacks to us for local people living with cancer.
Craft Making
If you can knit, sew, have other creative skills or want to give it a go, then why not create some unique items to then sell and help raise funds.
Live-Streamed Music Night
For all you music lovers, it’s your time to shine! Why not live stream your talents and provide an evening of entertainment for people in the comfort of their own homes? Whether you sing or play an instrument, host an online gig and encourage attendees to donate to your Just Giving page.
Shop Online
There are online selling platforms that donate a percentage directly to us when you shop with them. Amazon Smile is a great way to shop and donate at the same time. Select Ayrshire Cancer Support as your chosen charity and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to us. Easy Fundraising is another useful shopping platform which donates a percentage of your purchase and you can choose from over 4,000 retailers.
At home sports day
Host a sports day in your garden or around your house to raise life saving and extending donations for people in Ayrshire living with cancer. Set up your athletics course with household items and take on an obstacle like no other! Ask your household to join you or take it online and get family involved over video chat to get those heart rates pumping.
Sponsored chores
A great one for children and it helps mum and dad at the same time!
Sponsor the kids to do their household chores and raise money at the same time. For all the money they earn, half of it can be donated and the remainder being their hard-earned pocket money!
Board Game Tournament
We’re sure everyone has Monopoly or Scrabble in their attic!
Dust them off and host a tournament evening with your friends and ask them to donate to play. Make sure to keep a leaderboard and note down the points for each game, eventually crowning the winner of the board games.
Help keep people’s spirits up by sharing a clip of yourself on social media dancing or singing to your favourite song. Nominate 5 others to do the same and keep the good vibes going!
Please ensure you are following the latest safety guidelines issued by the Scottish Government.
