Office fundraising

Office fundraising can take place on whatever scale you want. There are plenty of ideas below, and we're sure that you and your colleagues will have ideas of your own as well. If you want to talk through your plans with us, we'd love to hear from you.

You can also request a fundraising pack for further ideas, and we can provide posters, balloons, collection tins and much more to help your fundraising go smoothly.

Office fundraising ideas

Swear box - pop a collection box on a central desk in the office and agree your fines!

Collection box - Why not place a collection box on the Reception desk and encourage staff to deposit their coppers in it on their way home every evening?

Organise a sweepstake – whether it's for the Grand National, Wimbledon or the next World Cup organise a sweepstake with 50% for the winner and 50% for the charity

Sponsored 'wrong shirt day' - Do you have some football fanatics in your office? How much would they have to be sponsored to wear the arch rivals team shirt for the day?

Dress down day - All staff pay £1 to come to work in casual clothes

Cake sale - An oldie but a goodie - ask staff to bring in cakes and biscuits to be sold at morning coffee break time to raise funds for Crisis

Raffle - Write to local shops and gyms requesting raffle prizes and then sell tickets around the office for the big draw.

Sponsored Sleep Over - This fundraiser is popular in schools and youth groups, but why not challenge your colleagues to spend a night without their creature comforts sleeping on the floor of the staff room

Donate your time - Ask colleagues to donate what they earn for the last hour of the month or year

Auction of promises - Get your colleagues to donate their time or skills and then auction them off - eg A night's babysitting, a day of gardening, an afternoon of DIY

Sponsored challenge - Would a team from your office like to jump from a plane, run a marathon or climb a mountain? If so, do get in touch and we can help you organise this.

Many companies agree to match funds raised for charity by their staff, so do always check whether your employers will do this.
