Fundraising Events

If you fancy doing something a little different such as mountain trekking or horse riding, try checking out the Charity Challenge website which can link you up with lots of different adrenaline pumping activities which enable you to raise money for St Giles Trust.

Please click here for a Fundraising Pack. Here are a few outline tips:

Remember that small amounts can all add up to a big sum! Whatever you are doing, St Giles Trust can help you with sponsorship forms and information about our work to distribute.

Friends and family – they are often the first step to raising money and are great to get on board.

Gift aid – this can really make a difference to the amount you fundraise. Each time someone signs your sponsorship form, get them to put their home address with postcode and tick the Gift Aid box. This means the Government will give an extra 28% at no expense to the donor.

Fellow employees – advertise your challenge on your company’s intranet so your colleagues know. Why not try organising a departmental quiz or auction night to raise funds? By charging a small entrance fee, you can all have a great night out and raise money.

Company matching – ask your company to match whatever you raise. It doubles your achievement!

If you would like to try fundraising for any kind of event or activity online, Virgin Money Giving is the way to do it.  Visit the St Giles Trust page within the Virgin Money Giving site and follow the simple steps to create your own fundraising website, or if you prefer you can make a one-off or monthly donation to St Giles.

For more information on any of our fundraising events or activities, or if you have a fundraising idea of your own please contact Kate Donohue on 020 7703 7000.
