Ready to fundraise for Anaphylaxis UK?

The starting point is a great fundraising idea. If you haven’t yet found the “thing” that you want to do, here are some of our fundraisers’ favourites to inspire you:

  • Sign up you and your colleagues to run a race
  • Organise a team trek or cycle
  • Host a quiz night
  • Hold an allergy-friendly bake sale
  • Organise a charity sweepstake
  • Auction of office promises

If the above doesn’t take your fancy, download our ‘Fundraising at Work’ poster for some more great ideas – there’s something suitable for all colleagues and environments.

Or, feel free to think outside the box and come up with an employee fundraising challenge. Think about what you all enjoy doing, can you link it to your company somehow (e.g. do you have another office the other end of the country for a cycle challenge finish line?), how much you would like to raise, and how much time you’ll be able to commit as a group. There’s a fundraising idea out there for everyone!

Remember, no matter what you decide to do, your wonderful efforts to raise much-needed funds and awareness to support those living with serious allergies is much appreciated.

Next steps

Once you have your fundraising idea and set a date, the next step is to…

  • Set up a fundraising page

    We recommend a site like JustGiving or Enthuse.

    Remember to explain why you are raising much-needed awareness and funds for Anaphylaxis UK – what’s the connection? Why is it important to you and your company?

    And when it comes to setting a fundraising target, be brave! Set an ‘ambitious’ but achievable goal. And be creative. Entering a team in a marathon (26.2 miles)? Why not set your target as £2,620?
