Get Involved

Fundraising is the lifeblood of our organisation. The Sailors’ Children’s Society relies on volunteers and their efforts to raise enough money to allow us to continue to support needy children and families. Fundraising can be fun, challenging, and rewarding. Whatever your idea is, we would love to hear from you.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Individual fundraisers

There’s so much you can do to get involved and help fundraise for the Sailors’ Children’s Society. Why not take advantage of the summer months and organise a street party? You could have a spring clean and take all your unwanted items to a car boot sale. If you’re sporty, sign up for a sponsored walk or run and keep fit while you fundraise!

One person can make a big difference.

Groups of fundraisers

Working as part of a group can really put the ‘fun’ into fundraising. Being part of a team means you’ll never be short of the next fundraising idea – and you can support and challenge each other every step of the way.

Ideas for group fundraisers could include charity golf tournaments, entering a sporting event as a team, or throwing a charity bash like a gala or bingo party!

Fundraising in schools

Get the whole school involved, with pupils and staff working together to raise funds for the Sailors’ Children’s Society. Make caring part of the curriculum with creative ideas such as dress-down days, read-a-thons and bake sales.

Parents and carers can join in with the school fundraising community at events such as parents’ sports days and manning stalls at school fairs.

Corporate fundraising

Corporate fundraising can be anything from office fundraising events, such as bake sales, or sponsored head shaves, to large-scale galas and charity auctions. Whether your business is a local shop or a nationwide enterprise, you and your colleagues can make a difference.
