From writing a captivating story to using social media, check out our tips and make sure everyone knows about your charity fundraiser whether you’re an individual, community group or business.
If you’re organising a fundraiser for North Devon Hospice, you’ll need to shout about it to everyone you know to have the most impact. It’s also helpful if you tell us what you’re planning so our team can support you by providing advice and materials to promote your activity. Because every pound raised will help ensure many more people affected by a life-limiting illness, and their families, will be able to be cared for and that’s worth shouting about.
Social networks
Facebook, TikTok and Instagram are a great way to spread the word. Set up an event page and invite everyone you know to attend. Keep the page updated by posting photos, updating your status and linking to your online fundraising page.
Use the power of email
If you send lots of emails for work or socialising, use your email signature to remind people about your event and include a link to your online fundraising page.
Done some newsworthy fundraising?
The media love to hear about fundraising heroes in their local communities. We have some template press releases for you to use and we can offer advice on approaching your local media. Contact us for more support.
Put up posters
You don’t have to be there in person to promote your event – use one of our poster templates and ask if you can put them up in your local pub, shop or church. Your venue may also be able to display a poster, or you could promote your event on their website.
Be creative
It’s important to get people’s attention. Use unusual promotional strategies to stand out from the crowd, such as competitions to win tickets, taking out an advert in your local paper and contacting community groups that are relevant to your event - this could be sport groups, parental groups or social clubs.
