Ideas for Community Groups

If you're a member of a group, club, association, committee or just a tight group of friends, fundraising gives you an excellent opportunity to get everyone together and to help change the lives of children and young people right here in the UK.

Our community fundraisers play an irreplaceable role in fundraising. Just take a look at what RIBI, Round Table and TOGs got up to last year.

We have sporty ideas for sports clubs, performance ideas for theatre groups, crafty ideas for arts classes and many more in our Top Tens. You can also get sponsorship forms, recipes, posters to download and print, plus loads more goodies to help you get going from our fundraising essentials.

Top Ten Ideas for Community Groups

1. Organise a karaoke or talent show and charge people to enter

2. Get sponsored or pay to dress in spots for the day. You can buy Pudsey goodies from our Shop section

3. Do a sponsored walk or run, get all your family and frends involved just like The Rotary Club of Romsey Test who are organising a walk in Hampshire. Find out how you could join in here, or organise your own in your local area.

4. Hold a raffle or auction. You could buy some Pudsey goodies to auction off

5. Get sponsored to have your legs or back waxed

6. Do a collection. Collect pennies from the back of your sofa or get the loose change from your club members friends and family. You can use the stickers from your fundraising pack to decorate your tin, or order more here. Round Table have been doing collections for BBC Children in Need every year and hope to be collecting for years to come.

7. Put on a quiz night or bingo evening or even hold a disco for everyone

8. Put on a sports tournament and ask people to pay to enter

9. Put on a race evening
