Fundraising Ideas
Guess your finish time
Charge people to guess how long it will take you to complete the event. Each guess a person makes will cost an amount. The person that comes closest gets a prize.
Wimbledon 2010
If you missed holding the sweepstakes for the FIFA World Cup, you have another opportunity with Wimbledon 2010. Organise a sweepstakes with your office colleagues to raise money for SportsAid.
FIFA World Cup 2010
The fundraising opportunities around the FIFA World Cup are endless. Hold an office Sweepstake or a five-a-side tournament to boost your fundaising. It is sports related and will be a great way to tell your story about helping other young talented athletes in Britain that need support.

Payroll giving
Payroll giving is a simple and effective way of supporting SportsAid. It provides a stable income, enabling SportsAid to plan for future projects. It easy to join, tax free, and the Government will add 10% to each gift. This can be particularly effective if the company encourages its staff by matching all or part of their giving.
Gifts in kind
Support for SportsAid does not necessarily need to be in the form of cash sponsorship. By sponsoring services that we would normally have to purchase you free up more money for our charitable work.
