Unleash Your Fundraising Flair: Fun Ways to Fundraise for Self Help UK!
Hey amazing people! Here at Self Help UK, we’re all about empowering communities through the incredible power of peer support. We provide the resources, training, and support that helps individuals connect and transform their lives. But guess what? We can’t do it alone – we need YOU, our fantastic community of supporters, to help us make a real difference!
Ready to unleash your inner fundraising flair? This isn’t about stuffy galas (unless that’s your jam, in which case, go for it!), it’s about having fun and making a genuine impact in a way that suits you.
So, how can you get involved in the fundraising fun? Let your imagination run wild!
- Become an Event Extraordinaire: Fancy yourself a host with the most? Why not organise a bake sale that would make Mary Berry proud? Or perhaps a quiz night that puts even the cleverest minds to the test? Get your friends, family, or colleagues involved and turn your passion into pounds for Self Help UK!
- Embrace Your Inner Athlete (or not!): Whether you’re a marathon runner in disguise or prefer a gentle stroll, you can turn your fitness feats into fundraising power! Get sponsored for a run, a cycle, a swim, or even a sponsored silence if you’re feeling brave!
- Get Crafty for a Cause: Got a knack for knitting, a passion for painting, or a talent for tie-dye? Turn your creative hobbies into fundraising gold! Sell your masterpieces and donate the proceeds – your unique creations will be twice as special knowing they’re helping others.
- Celebrate and Support: Are you celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or another special occasion? Why not ask your loved ones to make a donation to Self Help UK instead of buying gifts? What better way to mark a milestone than by supporting a cause close to your heart?
- Rally Your Workplace Warriors: Get your colleagues in on the action! Organise a dress-down day, a workplace raffle, or even a team challenge. It’s a fantastic way to boost morale and make a collective difference.
Whatever your idea, we’re here to support you! We believe in putting you in control of your fundraising journey while keeping things simple for our small team.
Why is your support so valuable?
Every single pound you raise helps Self Help UK to:
- Provide vital resources and training to peer support groups.
- Empower individuals to connect with others who understand their experiences.
- Build stronger, more resilient communities.

Whether you aim to raise £100 or £10,000, every contribution makes a real difference. Setting a goal will keep you motivated, and remember to spread the word far and wide through social media, email, and good old-fashioned word of mouth!
