How to fundraise
Fundraise for us
We want to enable people with learning disabilities, physical and mental health needs or autistic people to live full and aspiring lives.
There are many ways you can support our work by donating or raising funds for Active Prospects.
Listed below are some fantastic ways you can fundraise in your community. Got another idea that’s not listed below? That’s no problem, Active Prospects will be able to support you.
- Bake Sale
Everyone loves eating cake and treats. Make some enticing and delightful delicacies and hold a bake sale in a local community centre or school.
- Dog Walking
Calling all dog lovers! Dog walking is a key part of caring for a dog. Dog owners can be busy so why not suggest walking their dog in return for a charity contribution. It’s also a great way to keep active too.
- Car Wash
How about hosting a car wash? You can set up a car wash stall or ask your local fire station to see if they would like to support and get involved. Car owners will be delighted to contribute to charity once their cars are shiny and clean.
- Quiz Night
Are you a quizmaster? Why not get your friends and family together and organise a quiz. It’s a great, social activity and you can sell tickets for a small price with snacks and nibbles.
- Raffle
Raffles are ever so popular and so easy to do! If you collect some great prizes from friends, family or local shops on the high street, it’s bound to be a fantastic success and raise money. Raffles can be for all sorts of occasions too!
Walk a mile, hike the highest mountain, run a 10k or bravely jump out of a plane. There’s lots of challenges out there to take part in whilst raising funds for Active Prospects.
- Walks and treks
Take part in a sponsored walk or trek and explore some of the world’s most beautiful landmarks. Whether you want to walk the Great Wall of China, tackle Iceland’s wild volcanic landscape or climb the Surrey Three Peaks, there is a perfect adventure out there.
