Fundraising ‘Be Inspired’
Our supporters are passionate about fundraising for us, and they are both creative and daring when it comes to charity events
Our supporters have raced along inflatable courses, hosted curry nights and baked a lot of cake all to raise vital funds through thousands of pounds of sponsorship money. The possibilities are endless, and we are here to support you with how you might be inspired to fundraise in support.
If you have a wonderful idea of your own to raise funds for Kids Inspire large or small, party or paint, drive or dive, please get in touch and we will help you to help improve the mental wellbeing of children, young people and their families in Essex.
To get you started we’ve got a few ideas to inspire you below:
Fundraising with food and drink.
Supper Club.
Love tea, cake and your friends, why not host your own ‘Supper Club’ to celebrate?
Bake sale.
A classic and a lot of yummy ‘bake off’ fun!
Garden open days.
Either show off your garden or persuade a local house to open its garden - add tea and cake.
Pub quiz.
Fun with friends! Plus, online quizzing is a useful possibility too!
‘A night in’.
Instead of going out for the evening, why not stay in – invite some friends, cook a meal and donate some of what you all saved to Kids Inspire
