Fundraise at Work


Fundraising at work is fun and rewarding. It’s also a great way to enhance your working relationships, encourage team building and make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children around the world.

Children on the Edge relies entirely on donations like yours to fund our vital work to create safe, child friendly environments, where children are able to realise their rights.
​
There are lots of ways your workplace can raise money to help restore the ingredients of a full childhood to some of the worlds’ most vulnerable children. ​

Here’s a few ideas:

  • Organise a ‘dress down day’ and charge people £1 to join in
  • Throw a staff party or dinner with raffles and games to raise money for Children on the Edge
  • Put together a team and take on a challenge event, like a half-marathon,’ Tough Mudder’ or team cycle ride, it’s a great way to build relationships and you can get competitive over who brings in the most sponsorship!
  • Organise a bake sale at lunchtime and ask your star bakers to supply the cakes
  • Ask for a Children on the Edge collection box to put in your office, till or front desk
  • Encourage staff and colleagues to do something special for a week, like donate the cost of a daily coffee
  • You could ask colleagues to walk or cycle to work and donate the money they would have spent on petrol or public transport. 
  • Have you got a special skill that you could use? Are you a talented chef who could do something for your colleagues for a donation? Could you run a class or organise an after-work activity?
