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?
