Be inspired by some of our fundraising ideas below!
Sponsored Events
London Marathon
Samaritan’s Purse have a number of places available. Why not challenge yourself and others? Find out more.
Football/Cricket Matches
A five-a-side football match or cricket match is a great way of fundraising and having fun. Ensure all participants are sponsored and the crowd give a donation.
Sponsored Silence
Consider a sponsored silence in solidarity with the people we raise money for, who often have no one to speak up for them. A symbolic way of fundraising and raising awareness!
Social Events
Coffee Morning
Or barbecue, cream tea, wine tasting... Host a food and drink event with a twist. Home made cakes are always popular!
Charity Come Dine with Me
Invite your friends around, cook lots of food and “charge” per head. Simply ask your friends to donate what they would spend in a restaurant.
Celebrations
Make your day extra special and transform lives by raising funds for a project that's on your heart. Just ask for donations instead of gifts!
Competitions
Raffles
Host a raffle night where friends and family donate gifts, raffle tickets are sold, and all the money raised goes to a good cause.
Guessing Games
Guess the number of sweets in a jar, the number of balloons in a car, guess the weight of a specially baked cake.
Quiz Night
A great event to raise funds for a great cause - host a quiz in your community and help reach communities around the world with the hope of the Gospel.
