Ideas to inspire you
Already know what you want to do? Great, let’s get you started! Need some inspiration? From virtual pub quizzes to live-stream gigs, we’ve got fun ideas to get your fundraising off the ground.
Keep fit
Come up with your workout, then invite everyone you know and ask people to donate the cost of their gym class. It’s really that easy!
Sweepstake from home
A sweepstake is a quick and easy way to fundraise from home. Just set it up on your favourite social account and invite your family and friends to get involved.
Virtual pub quiz
There’s nothing more British than a pub quiz! So set some questions, invite your friends (virtually, of course) and ask for a donation for attending.
Host an online gig
Hidden talent for music? Show off your skills by hosting an online gig. And encourage your crowd to make a donation while you entertain them!
Donate your birthday
You can still make your birthday one to remember by asking your friends and family to donate to Young Lives vs Cancer in lieu of gifts. Or set up a virtual birthday boogie!
Share your talent
Keen crocheter? Amazing artist? Host an online class and share your talent with friends and family. Just ask for donations for taking part in the class.
Get started with Justgiving
Justgiving is the easiest way to fundraise from home and it only takes a moment to set up. Ask everybody who takes part to donate what you would otherwise charge in person. It could be the cost of a class, an entry fee or the cost of a night out.
