- Tea for Trussell – Invite your congregation to your very own Tea for Trussell. Ask them to invite friends and family and come together to share delicious delights, wonderful company and make new friends.
- Sing for Supper – Host an afternoon or evening of music with your congregation. What a wonderful way to come together as a group, learn music and then invite friends and family to come along to a concert?
- Bake Off – run a classic bake sale but add some competition. Get people to submit their lemon sponge cakes or Victoria sponges for judging. Charge for baking submissions and for selling the cakes afterwards.
- Food and Drinks Tasting – This is a great way to socialise, meet new friends, and get to know members of your group or organisation – and you can serve anything from cheese, wine or cake.
- Bring and Buy Sale – Ask everyone who attends your place of worship to bring in unwanted gifts, books, games and clothes, and organise a bring and buy sale. If you have a car park, you could also make it a car boot sale.
- Christmas Fair – Help you community start their festive shopping in style with a stop off at your Christmas Fair. Use a local hall or community space and sell stalls/spaces to those who would like to take part in the fair. Why not invite the local choir to sing carols to entertain your visitors as they shop. You could have festive bakes, raffle and tombola to increase your fundraising activities
- Host your own Foodie Fundraiser – Set up a brilliant breakfast buffet that friends and members of your community won’t be able to resist! Or perhaps organise a ‘Bring and Share Lunch’ with guests making a donation to attend.
- Open Gardens – If some of your congregation love gardening why not host a community open garden day. Invite worshippers and friends and family to open their garden and raise money for The Trussell Trust. You could offer lunches, treasure trails and plants for sale.
- Tried and Tested! Boost your fundraiser with a tombola, lucky dip or raffle (see keeping it safe and legal )
