Fundraising ideas

Celebrate your birthday or a special day like an anniversary by donating to a cause you care about. You can easily organise these through setting up a general fundraiser or birthday fundraiser through our Facebook page, or by setting up a JustGiving page for us.

Getting moving can improve your physical and mental wellbeing so why no set yourself an active challenge? It could be anything from:

• walking
• wheeling or running
• yoga
• dancing
• juggling, and
• keepy-uppies

Set yourself a challenge that suits you and have friends sponsor your efforts. Or find an event near you to take part in with #TeamScope. 

Clear out your cupboards and sell your items on eBay. Donate a percentage to Scope through eBay’s charity function.

Simply search for Scope in the charity option. Or if you’re looking to spruce up your wardrobe buy directly from Scope’s eBay online shop.

Turn your artistic talents into a fundraiser. Hold a virtual workshop for friends and family or make bespoke items in return for donations.

It’s time to show off your nifty knitting skills, wonderful watercolours and divine drawings!

Do something wacky with your hair like growing a beard for two months, getting rid of it completely by braving the shave or waxing your legs. It’s completely up to you!

Be sure to share photos or a video online and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. Don’t forget to tag Scope.

Celebrate special days in style by hosting a themed fundraiser. There are lots of celebrations throughout the year to choose from, such as:

• Valentine's Day
• World Baking Day

And specific days dedicated to celebrating diversity, like:

• International Day of People with Disabilities
• Global Accessibility Day

Focus on creativity, run an art competition asking students with a £1 donation for each entry.

Organise a dress down day. Ask all students to wear purple and donate £1. Why purple? Purple is a widely recognised colour for disability equality!

Get everyone at the club and all your supports involved in a one-day tournament. This could include children, parents, spectators and sponsors. Everyone gets a chance to play! Charge an entry fee for each team. And maybe hold a BBQ to raise some extra cash.

Don’t forget you can request fundraising buckets by emailing fundraise@scope.org.uk.

Play a charity exhibition match to get together with your rivals and wow the crowds with your skills. Everyone has that one big rival club they just can’t wait to beat!

Host a raffle at your next match day and encourage everyone to purchase tickets as they watch the game. Ask your sponsors or local businesses to donate prizes. You could even raffle off free tickets to the next match or a table at your teams end of season dinner.
