Hold your own event

Holding your own event is a great way to support the Stars Appeal. Do what interests you, invite everyone you know to take part and all have a brilliant time knowing that you are changing the lives of local people!

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Bake sale – Make like Mary Berry and bake your way to fundraising success
  • Quiz night – The pub, village hall, local sports centre and your best mate’s garden are all venues suitable for hosting a quiz
  • Coffee mornings – Most people rely on a coffee to get them through the day so hosting a coffee morning is a great way to fundraise
  • Dances / Disco – You don’t need access to a ballroom and moves for Strictly to host a dance (but if you do that’s great) you just need space and music to move to. Will you host your dance at home or will your hire a local venue? 
  • Football match – Even if you don’t score, this is one match that guarantees you’ll make a difference in 90 minutes
  • Open Garden / Day – If your garden is in full bloom or you have a house with a colourful history, why not open your doors for an entry fee and host an open house
  • Vintage – Got enough vintage shirts to set up your own stall? Got an eye for finding furniture gems online and at car boots? Why not organise your own vintage sale 
  • Job swap – sponsor your manager to do a stint on reception

You can set up an online sponsorship/donation page through Justgiving 

We’ve also produced a fundraising pack which is full of great advice and ideas.
