Organise your own fundraising event

Take part in fundraising for Shelter

Organising your own fundraising event or activity can be great fun – and raising money for Shelter will make a big difference to the lives of homeless and badly housed people.

If you’re thinking of organising your own fundraising event or activity, you can download a copy of our Fundraising Guide.

It features everything you’ll need to make your fundraising event a success, including:

  • ideas for fundraising events and activities throughout the year
  • top tips for planning and organising your own fundraising event
  • advice on getting publicity and spreading the word
  • important legal and health and safety information
  • advice on how to get the money you've raised to us.

From an Easter egg hunt to a swimathon, raffle or wine tasting evening – whatever you decide to do, your fundraising event will help to improve the lives of others.

"At first, setting myself the target of £1000 was quite daunting, but once I’d split it up into smaller amounts it became much more manageable and organising the different activities even made it great fun."
