Fundraising ideas guide: Sponsored activities

• Headshave – do you dare to shave? Get sponsored to cut or shave your hair.
• Hair dye – Pink? Blue? Orange? What colour will you get sponsored to dye your hair?
• Wax – feeling brave? Get sponsored to wax away.
• Silence / Read-a-thon – how long can you stay silent for? How many books can you read within a month? Get sponsored for a challenge of your choice.
• Face painted for the day – get sponsored to have your face painted for the day and for an extra donation, be prepared to walk in public with it.
• Charity shop challenge – choose and wear an outfit from a charity shop 

Ask for sponsorship to give up one of your favourite items. Challenge yourself even further by setting up milestones to hit, for example if you hit £100 you will add on an additional day to your challenge.  

Why not trying giving up:

• Chocolate
• Alcohol
• Sugar
• Television
• Screen up time
• Fizzy drinks

• Dog walking – ask for a donation to walk a neighbours dog
• House sitting – ask for a donation to take care of someone's house whilst they are away, or why not offer to do their house chores and jobs?
• Helper for the day – could you be a personal chef to a neighbour? Or perhaps help build a shed or paint a fence? Offer a helping hand in return for a donation to Mencap.
