Fundraising at University/college

You students usually come up with some good and fun ideas!  They may or may not include some of the following:

football

Auction of promises

Get your co-students to donate their time or skills and auction them off to other – for instance, a night's babysitting, a day of gardening, an afternoon of DIY…

Rag Week

Include Stonepillow in your Rag Week collections

Sleep Over

Spend a night without creature comforts sleeping on the floor of the student union, with entry fees and sponsorship money going to Stonepillow

Fresher’s Week

Set up a Stonepillow stall during Fresher’s week, raise awareness and raise funds for the charity.

Fancy Dress

Wear a costume for the day and either be sponsored or pay to take part.

Swear box

Keep a collection box somewhere in your student accommodation and watch the fines roll in!

Collection box

… or simply place a collection box at Reception for loose change/ coppers from staff,
students and visitors as they pass by

Organise a sweepstake

Whatever the sporting occasion, a sweepstake is often popular!  Takings can be split
50:50 between the winner and Stonepillow

Break a record . . .

. . . and get people to sponsor you to do it! See what records have been set and try to break one, or find something that hasn’t been done before! www.guinnessworldrecords.com

Naked Chef!

Well, not quite… Hold a special dinner for friends or family and ask everyone to make a donation (say, £10) in return for your culinary skills.

Hold an auction

Find local shops or businesses willing to donate prizes and hold a charity auction night for your friends and family?

Run, walk, cycle . . .

There are many local sports events taking place throughout the year, from half-marathons to cycle rides which you can join. Sign up, get fit, get sponsored and raise money for Stonepillow, all at the same time! Why not get a team of your mates to all enter together?

Fancy dress at the pub/student union

Hold a fancy dress evening at your local bar, pub or student union and ask everyone to donate an entry fee.  Try dressing up as a London Underground station, sign of the zodiac or favourite character from a film?
