You’ve chosen your idea, now what?
The key is planning, planning, planning.
1. Think about the 4 W’s:
- What you are doing?
- When it will your event happen?
- Where will your event be held?
- Why you are doing it?
2. Work out how much you want to raise, and if it’ll cost you anything.
3. Shout out loud – how will you publicise the event? You can use the internet – Twitter, Facebook, Just Giving – they’re all great ways to get the word out.
4. Write a checklist and get your resources ready.
5. Be safe and legal.

By phone
You can call us on 020 8780 7500 and use MasterCard, Visa or Maestro. Please bear in mind that paying over the phone means we cannot claim Gift Aid.
