Here are a few ideas to inspire you: 

Quiz night
Encorage your friends, family and colleagues to enter teams. Why not run a raffle and auction a prize for added excitment!

Walk to work week
Encourage your colleagues to walk to work for the week and donate the money they would have spent on petrol or public transport to Penny Brohn Cancer Care!

Bad tie friday
Charge your colleagues for having the nerve to wear the worst ties they can find!

Healthy week
This is good to organise at work and school. Cut out all those unhealthy snacks for a week and donate the money you would have spent to Penny Brohn Cancer Care. Alternatively get sponsored to eat healthily for a week!

Take your place in the FoodchainA food chain starts with just one person hosting a lunch or dinner party for eight friends, those eight are asked to organise one for seven friends and so on down to two. A great way to raise substantial funds with each guest making a donation as the chain grows. If you would like a Foodchain information pack please contact us on 01275 370 073 or by email.

Podcast treasure hunt
Get your ipods out and make a walking treasure hunt around your local area for people to download and charge for the experience! Include interesting facts to get people to really look at the area they live in whilst answering the questions.
 
Job swap
Get sponsored to take the place of someone else for the day.

Safari lunch
Trek from one house to another, having one course in each house. Watch out for the wildlife on the way and charge for the experience!

Sponsored head shave
Are you bold enough to go bald for charity?

Race night
Organise a virtual horse race night, charge people an entry fee, set up betting booths and hold a raffle at the end. We can provide the right contacts for videoed races, simply drop us an email.

Seventies cocktail-making morning
Arrange a fancy dress cocktail morning, get your friends to bring over a bottle and practise your cocktail-making skills! Why not try healthy fresh fruit smoothie cocktails too.

Sponsored meditate
Like a sponsored silence but much harder!

Scratch messiahContact your local choral societies to put on a unrehearsed version of Handel’s Messiah in the local church or Cathedral. Great fun and always draws a good crowd

Photography competition
Organise a prize and arrange a photography competition in which participants pay a registration fee.

Street party
Contact everyone in your street and organise a street party with stalls, face painting and family entertainment. What a fantastic way to get to know your neighbours!
