Planning your fundraising activity

Fundraising is definitely about having fun and raising some money.

Pick an Idea

What interests you? Are you a good swimmer or runner? If you love being active, you could organise a sponsored fun run or sporting event. Perhaps social events are more your thing so why not arrange a coffee morning? Or get crafty and bake cakes to sell. You will find a list of ideas on the next page.

Plan your Activity

Even the simplest activities require preparation and the better prepared you are the easier your event will be. Think about how you are going to raise the funds and what will work best for you. We have given you some hints and tips on how to make your event legal in this pack but if you need further advice and guidance please contact the team on 028 777 68761 or email info@adni.org.uk

Tip: ask local businesses for support. A financial contribution is always welcome but you could also ask them to donate a raffle prize.

Promote your Fundraising event

Once the details for your fundraiser have been decided it is time to drum up interest from your friends, family and work colleagues. The more people you tell the more donations you will attract. See the Publicity and Social Media page in this pack for more information on getting your event out there.

Pay in your money

Once the fundraising is over it’s time to collect donations and send them to us. If you have raised the funds online, then all the money will be sent directly to Assistance Dogs N.I. If you have collected donations yourself there are several ways for you to get the money to us. Find out more in the Sending in your money pages in this pack.

Well Done

All your hard work has paid off. The funds raised will make a huge difference to Assistance Dogs N.I. and the people that we support.
