Virtual fundraising ideas

Gather with friends and family virtually and hold a dinner party, afternoon tea or coffee morning. Or why not host a movie night using Netflix Party https://www.netflixparty.com/ and encourage those gathering to make a donation. 

Are you able to run some sort of class virtually? Perhaps yoga, cookery, knitting or crafting. Whatever your talent, put it to good use and encourage your audience to make a donation. 

Now’s the time to have a good clear-out and you could even sell your pre-loved items via Ebay and donate the money to Cerebral Palsy Cymru!

Think of activities you can do together as a family. Whether it’s sponsored chores, baking, cycling, walking or scooting, you’re bound to find the winning fundraising formula and have a whole lot of family fun in the process.

There are all sorts of games you can play online including video games, chess, poker, bingo, quizzes, and much more.  Why not raise the stakes and turn it into a fundraiser! 

Calling all book worms! Gather virtually with like-minded book lovers and pick a book to read each work or month, get together, chat about it, and make a donation. 

Crafting is so popular these days, so whether your passion is crochet, knitting, felting, quilting or origami get together virtually with fellow crafters and raise some money.   

This is the ideal time to get active.  Set yourself a running, walking, swimming, biking challenge and gather sponsorship for your amazing efforts. 

Perhaps you are a talented musician or you have friends that are – why not arrange an online music event and charge an entry! 

Encourage your colleagues to get involved with fundraising. Hold a dress up team meeting, lunchtime quiz or gather virtually after work for a chat and donate the cost of a pint! With many working from home currently, why not donate the amount you would normally budget for your commute. 

Creating a birthday or special celebrations (e.g. wedding anniversary) fundraiser is a brilliant way to give back to a cause you're passionate about on a day that is important to you. Staying at home and self-isolating means social gatherings and parties are on hold, but you could still ask your loved ones to make a donation to Cerebral Palsy Cymru to mark your special day. Do this by setting up a Just Giving page or set up a Facebook Fundraiser.
