Fundraising
Do you, your children, grandchildren, friends or neighbours work for an organisation that might be willing to support Age Connects Neath Port Talbot and the work we carry out across the county borough? Or can you get together and spread the word about our work and organise some vital fundraising on our behalf? You and your friends and family can do so much more than you think!
Running your own fundraising event can be great fun and incredibly rewarding. Your time and efforts will help support older people and their carers, especially those who are vulnerable, isolated, and live in poverty, who depend on our services.
Here are just a few ideas to help you get started in planning your fundraising activity…
- Organise a sports event such as a charity golf day or fun run/walk
- Hold a dress up or down day at your school or workplace
- Plan a pamper party or a tasty tea party for your friends and family
- How about getting everyone together to watch your favourite football/rugby team on TV, a curry night or darts night at the local
- If kids are keen to get involved with fundraising, how about a teddy bear picnic, face painting, treasure hunt, fancy dress day at playgroup or nursery
- Organise a fundraising race night, casino night or gala ball?
- Exercise your mind with a fundraising quiz nights or chess tournament
- Or exercise your vocal chords with a karaoke night or concert
If appropriate to your activity, why not consider setting up an online giving page as an extra way to generate funds, you can connect to our LOCAL GIVING PAGE (https://localgiving.org/age-connects-neath-port-talbot) or set up your own with another online fundraiser. Don’t forget to ask your taxpaying sponsors to tick the Gift Aid box and fill in their full name and address so we can claim a further percentage of their donation at no extra cost to them.
