There are many ways that you can get involved with InFocus and one way is to hold your own fundraising event.
From hosting your own afternoon tea to a holding an evening of music with your local choir there are plenty of ways that you can support young people with vision impairment and complex needs.
We are excited to announce the launch of our new Fundraising Pack! Whether you’re fundraising solo or getting involved as a big group, we’ve got ideas, advice and resources to help you achieve your goals.
Tips to help your event run smoothly and raise as much as possible:
- Use your skills. If you have a passion for plants then maybe a garden party is for you but if you like to cook and enjoy dressing up why not host a murder mystery evening.
- Share your story. What does InFocus mean to you?
- Set up a JustGiving page (justgiving.com), it is easy to share with friends and family and collects all the donations for you.
- Set an achievable fundraising target- you can always increase it at a later date.
- Ask your biggest donor to donate first- it helps to inspire other donors!
- Collect gift aid on sponsorship forms, which you can download here. This can add up to 25% more to the amount raised.
- Use social media to promote what you are doing.
