Lottery ballsYour pupils can really use their creativity by fundraising for Macmillan at lunchtime, after school or at weekends. Here are a few ideas to get you started!

 
  • Organise a disco or ball at the end of term or for Valentines Day
  • Hold a summer or Christmas fete and ask different classes to be responsible for different stalls
  • Have an auction of promises – either by pupils or teachers!
  • A karaoke competiton is always popular – music pupils could accompany budding singers and charge a small entry fee for pupils to watch
  • Hold a raffle or giant tombola
  • A dress down or mufti day is a quick and easy way to raise money, but you could do it with a twist such as a ‘green clothes’ day, or wear odd socks for a day
  • Hold an ‘unwanted gift’ sale after Christmas
  • Have a flower sale for Valentines day – sell roses or cards and offer to deliver for an extra cost!
  • Have a Battle of the Bands or Battle of the DJs evening
  • Donate the proceeds of your school play to Macmillan
  • Make a donation to watch the World Cup or Wimbledon – you could do this in the school hall or a classroom

Get organised with all the tips and tools you need to make your event a success!

Don’t forget - if you send us your photos and stories we can feature your fundraising in our Hall of Fame.
