Christmas gift charity donations
At the most wonderful time of the year, your donations mean more than ever
Christmas is a time of year when you can really get creative and go all out with entertaining fundraising activities in support of wounded veterans and their families. Here are some of our favourite ideas.
Christmas Up your House
Bring a bit of festive cheer to your street this Christmas. Ask your neighbours to decorate their porches, front windows or front gardens in the spirit of Christmas and get everyone involved in judging the winner. Each house pays an entry fee to get involved and the most creative décor wins a prize!
Register nowFestive fancy dress
Wearing a Christmas jumper or bobble hat at work or at school is one of the simplest and most popular ways to fundraise during the festive period. Set an official date and ask everyone to make a small donation to take part. You could also hold a competition for the best festive dress.
Register nowGift Wrapping Service
A lot of people find themselves short on time when it comes to wrapping the gifts they’ve bought their loved ones, while many others simply don’t enjoy it. Offer a gift-wrapping service in exchange for a donation for wounded veterans. And, remember, ribbons and bows warrant even bigger donations!
Register nowCreative Christmas
Organise a crafty Christmas and sell seasonal goodies made by you and your family and friends.This could be anything from mince pies or Christmas cake to flower arrangements or soft toys.
Register nowGuess the Angel
Ask friends or colleagues to bring in photos of themselves as a baby or toddler and then get everyone to guess who’s who for a £1 donation.You could even offer a prize for the person with the highest number of correct guesses.
Register nowChristmas crackers
This couldn’t be easier. Buy some crackers and insert a golden ticket into one of them. Ask for a donation for each cracker and split ‘the pot’ between the lucky winner... and us of course.
