Fund Raising Tips
Five steps to fundraising success
If you need help then please contact us we will be able to help you with the whole process of planning an event?
1. First things first
- Go to your local pub or club and ask them if they want to do a Firewalk for Little Heroes,
- Get 20 – 30 people to do the fire walk, ask the pub to get other locals to do the fire walk – get the landlord to help.
- Decide a Date – don’t forget to let us know so we can confirm the date.
2. Making money
- We have set a realistic fundraising target so you have something to aim for.
- Ask family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you. Your employer may have a matched giving scheme which is an easy way of doubling what you raise!
- Set up an online sponsorship page on ‘JustGiving’ and let everyone know. Check out our online tips to make the most of your page.
- Keep a record of all your donations and remember to thank everyone.
3. Publicise it
- Advertise your event using posters (which we will provide), emails and Social networking sites such as
- Facebook,Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn etc.
- Send the Little Heroes Press Release to all your local papers and radio stations.
- Don’t forget to take your camera on the day to take pictures and video to record your event.
4. Enjoy it.
- This will be one of the most exhilarating events you will have done for a long time, so make sure that you ask all your friends and family to come and enjoy this event with you.
5. After the event
- Send us your photos.
- Thank everybody who supported you on the night.
- Post pictures and videos on Facebook and YouTube, or email them to all your supporters to thank them for their generosity.
