Fundraising from home
Check out our great ideas for fundraising you can do in your own home. From dance offs to sponsored silences, or shaving your head.
Putting the fun into fundraising
Fundraising can be something you do on your own or as part of a team.
From arranging a coffee morning or selling cakes at your local fete, to abseiling or a sponsored walk there’s something suitable for everyone.
Fundraising Events
A successful event doesn’t need to raise huge amounts of money. Rest assured, whether it’s £5 or £500, Colostomy UK will put it to good use. Fundraising is not just extremely rewarding, but should be fun too. If you would like a fundraising pack, which includes lots of hints and tips about organising an event, then call us or click here.
Sponsored activities
If organising events isn’t your thing, then you could always consider asking people to sponsor you, whether it be to run a half marathon, or to stay silent for a day! You can set up an online fundraising page using one of the platforms below – they will save you chasing sponsorship money, and enable you to keep everyone updated about your fundraising challenge.
