Festive Fundraiser Ideas

Cold, crisp mornings are just around the corner. This could mean only one thing: Christmas is nearly here! So, why not come together for a festive fundraiser? Whether you’re fundraising with friends and family or at work, there is loads of festive fun to be had. Discover our list of top five favourite festive fundraising ideas below.  

  • Office Christmas Jumper Day  

Ask your friends, colleagues, or family to wear a Christmas jumper in return for a donation, the uglier the jumper the better! You could even organise a small prize for the best jumper on the day.  

  • Christmas Quiz night  

Time to test your festive knowledge. Everyone loves a good Christmas quiz, whether it’s Christmas movies or songs, or maybe you’re testing their knowledge on Christmases long ago. A Christmas Quiz is a great way to bring people together and remember you can host your quiz in person or online.  

  • Festive Bake Off 

From steaming mince pies to delicious chocolate yule logs, a festive bake-off is sure to bring joy to everyone and raise funds at the same time. So, set up in the office, your local school Christmas event, or community group. Just make sure to get permission first. And get baking!  

  • The 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. 

Winter is a great time to get moving. So, gather your friends together or go it alone, and challenge yourself to complete a challenge of 12. Whether it’s skipping for 12 minutes or walking 12,000 steps or maybe even dancing to 12 different Christmas songs. The options are endless.  

  • Festive Fancy Dress 

It’s time to dust off your sequins and put new batteries in that Christmas tie, ask your friends, colleagues, or family to dress up in their festive attire for the day in return for a donation. You could even organise a small prize for the funniest outfit of the day.  

Ready to get fundraising? We love to see all the creative and fun things our fundraisers do for PANS PANDAS UK, there really is no limit to what you can do.
