If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are a few popular ideas.
Auction
Use your skills to host an auction and raise funds for MSF. It could be a silent auction at work, an online auction on social media, or even a live event. Gather donations of items or experiences and let the bidding begin!
Afternoon Tea
Invite your friends and family to a relaxing afternoon tea. Whether it’s in your garden, at home, or in a community space, serve some tea, cakes, and sandwiches and ask for donations to support MSF’s work.
Bake Sale
Whip up some tasty treats and host a bake sale in your community, workplace, or school. Everyone loves a good slice of cake, and it’s a brilliant way to raise money while showing off your baking skills.
Jumble Sale
Clear out your clutter and organise a jumble sale. Ask your neighbours, friends, or family to donate items they no longer need and sell them to raise funds. You’ll be supporting MSF while giving things a second life.
Gaming Marathon
Play for a purpose! Set yourself a gaming challenge – play for 12, 24, or even 48 hours and get sponsored by friends and family. Stream your progress to keep everyone engaged and donating.
Virtual Pub Quiz
Bring people together online for a virtual pub quiz. Create fun rounds of questions and ask for a donation to join. Add a prize for the winner to make it extra competitive!
Sell Your Crafts
If you’re crafty, why not sell your handmade items to raise money for MSF? Whether it’s jewellery, artwork, or knitted goods, your talents can make a big difference.
Head Shave
Take on the ultimate dare and shave your head for MSF. Set a fundraising goal, share your story on social media, and go live or host an event when the big moment arrives!
Running or Cycling Challenge
Get active and challenge yourself with a run or cycling event. Whether it’s a marathon, 5k, or an epic ride, ask friends and family to sponsor your efforts. It’s a great way to stay fit while supporting an incredible cause.
