Organise an Event
When it comes to deciding how to raise money for Under Tree Schools there are really only two rules: stay safe and make sure it's legal! You can either let your imagination run wild, or consider one of the following ideas:
Games night - have a marathon board games session and get sponsored for every hour you complete. Or have a computer games knockout tournament, charge people to enter and have a prize for the winner.
Quiz night - general knowledge, movies, pop, sport, team-based, or solo quizzes are irresistible, especially if there's a prize at stake.
Tug-o-war contest - here's a great chance to make some money out of interdepartmental rivalries, and all you need is a rope, a ref, and a bit of space.
Play DJ - organise a 60s/70s/80s/90s disco (or any other theme you can think of).
Sell food at work - choose something seasonal like ice cream or hot chocolate, or universal favourites cakes, biscuits etc. and there will be plenty of takers.
Band night - if you, your friends, or colleagues are musical, why not get together for a one-off gig and get everyone, everyone knows, to come?
Foodie night - play host/hostess for a themed culinary evening.
Karaoke evening - always a hit (even with people who can't sing), you could arrange a X-Factor-style competition or just have a singsong. You may even be able to get a local pub to host the event.
Have a cocktail night - make people's favourites for a fiver.
Sell some of your old stuff - car boot, garage, or jumble sale you are bound to have things lurking in the wardrobe, attic, or shed that other people would pay good money for.
Sponsored no drinking week - display your will power, and raise money by abstaining.
Dress down day - bring in a pound to wear what you want to work or school.
Safari Supper - organise a three course meal with different hosts for each course.
Matched giving - ask if your employer offers a matched giving scheme, where they could pledge the same total again as you raise for charity.
Press release - the more people who know what you're doing, the more chance you'll have of raising your total and a well-written press release will help get your message out there.
Whatever you decide to do, send us details of your forthcoming event to add to our Diary and tell us how it went for our News page
