Organise your own event

Here are some fun ways that you can raise funds for EIA with your family and friends

Host a treasure hunt

Treasure hunts are perfect for a get together with families, friends and neighbours. Provide participating groups with a treasure map and let them tick off what they find as they explore. Simply ask for a donation to be given to EIA in return for joining your event…

Hold a mini Olympics

Charge an entry fee as a donation to EIA and get the kids moving with a set of mini challenges, from skipping to the long jump. You could challenge the children with the fastest time or longest jump or most skips.

 

Contactless fundraising

Contactless fundraising is safe, quick and easy, it eliminates the need to ask your friends and family to bring cash to your event. To fundraise in aid of EIA at your events please use these messages:

 

To donate £1, text EIA to 70201

To donate £3, text EIA to 70331

To donate £5, text EIA to 70970

To donate £10, text EIA to 70191

 

Arrange a golf tournament

If you enjoy playing golf, why not reach out to your local golf course and ask the owners to consider donating the course for an EIA Charity Day? You can then promote your event in your Facebook or Whatsapp local community groups to encourage golfers of all levels to come and play for a donation.

Virtual challenges

Who needs a gym? Get all your friends to join in a virtual challenge as a team or over a number of days. You could organise a walkathon, run a marathon or cycle 50 miles… Create your fundraising page on the JustGiving website.

Eco-fundraising

Are you back in the office? Reduce your plastic footprint, bring your own drinks and lunch from home. And get sponsored to ride your bike or walk to work. Ever wondered how much you could save on travel cards and by packing your own lunch? Donate your savings to us!

Whatever you decide to do, we would love to hear about your plans and offer as much support as possible, so please fill out our contact form (selecting ‘donations and fundraising’ as the type of enquiry).
