25 Fun Ways to Fundraise
Thank you for visiting our fundraising ideas page!
​
In honour of our 25 years of play, we have created 25 ways for you to fundraise, some of which centre around the number 25! We hope you’ll find something fun and easy to get involved in, either on your own, or with family, friends, or colleagues.

Other

12. Host a games night
13. Walk a dog - offer to walk a friend’s dog in exchange for a donation

15. Sponsored outfit – let someone else choose what you wear for the day, but they sponsor you for the privilege of doing so
16. Offer to gift wrap your friends’ and family’s Christmas presents in exchange for a donation
For children
​
17. Do 25 star jumps (or exercise of choice) every day for 25 days and have someone sponsor you £1 per day
18. Do chores around the house and ask family to sponsor you
19. Car wash (if you can brave the cold!)

​
Want something really easy which requires little set up, no chores and no exercise?!
​
22. Donate your last hour’s pay of 2021
23. Donate the spare change in your pocket at the end of the day for 25 days
24. Donate an amount of your choice
25. Consider becoming a monthly donor
Finally, can you ‘find a tin a home’? Play Midlothian is always looking for places to host donation tins. If you know somewhere, ideally with a high footfall of cash payments, do let us know.
