How to fundraise for children in hospital

Whether you hold a bake sale or bingo night, brave an abseil or host a fancy dress day for your office, there are so many fun ways to raise money.

Take on a challenge for children in hospital

Feeling bold? Brave the shave like Edinburgh Rugby’s Pierre Schoeman, who shaved his head to raise vital funds. Or take on an epic sporting challenge – whether that’s running a marathon like incredible nurse Shona, facing your fears and taking on a skydive, or even conquering Mount Everest Base Camp like the fearless Dave! 

  

Fundraising with family and friends

Keeping it more low key? Here are some things our supporters often organise with their friends and family to raise funds for children in hospital:

  • Host a bake sale and bring your family, friends or colleagues together over delicious treats
  • Challenge your friends and family to a quiz night to test their knowledge while raising funds for a great cause
  • Start a Facebook fundraiser to celebrate your birthday

Get creative with your fundraising

Want to do something a little different? Take inspiration from the 1st East Linton Cub Pack, who took on a 45-minute sponsored silence, or the 10th Leith Boys Brigade, who gave up their favorite sweet treats for Lent, saving the money they would have spent and donating it instead. Small gestures can make a big difference!
