Raise funds

You don’t have to be an athlete to raise funds for Eikon. Could you…

  • Have a bake sale. Do it at work, and you can get your colleagues to compete in an office Bake-Off at the same time.
  • Run a sweepstake. Charge an entry fee to predict the winner of the World Cup / Strictly
    Come Dancing. The winning guess gets a prize, and the money raised goes to Eikon.
  • Wash cars with your kids.
  • Host a coffee morning or cheese and wine evening.
  • Do odd jobs for your friends and neighbours. Ask them to donate what the job’s worth.
  • Ask your friend’s band to put on a live performance and sell tickets in aid of Eikon.
  • Do a Facebook fundraiser. Click ‘support a charity’ and start a collection for The Eikon Charity in honour of your birthday or another special date.
  • Scrap your car in aid of Eikon. You can raise £100 plus using a free charity scheme that will take your old car away for you – see www.giveacar.co.uk
  • Recycle your old printer cartridges. Send them off to this charity scheme, benefit Eikon and avoid having to go to the tip! See www.recycle4charity.co.uk
  • Raise money while you shop online. If you install the Give as you Live app on your computer or phone, retailers will donate about 2.5% of your supermarket shop, train tickets, ebay purchase, etc to Eikon. See www.giveasyoulive.com/join/eikon-charity

It all adds up…

These easy fundraisers can make a big difference. Just £150 would pay for a young person to attend a weekly youth club for a year, where they can do something positive and be supported through life’s ups and downs.

Our fundraising team is on hand with more ideas and support for you. Please get in touch at or 01934 347 434 to let us know what you’re planning.
