Ways to give
Community Fundraising
Community fundraising plays a vital role - not just in raising money, but in raising awareness of the challenges young people face.
Fundraising Ideas
Looking for inspiration? Here are some simple ways to get involved.
Movement For Good Awards
The Benefact Group, does financial services differently – they give all available profits to charity and good causes. The Movement for Good Awards is an annual programme of giving that anyone can get involved in!
By nominating The Island N1, we could receive a £1000 donation through the Movement For Good Awards.
Hold a quiz night or raffle
Quiz nights are a fantastic way to bring people together while raising money for The Island.
Choose a date, book a venue, and invite friends, family, colleagues, or your local community to take part. Teams can be made up of 2 to 8 people, with an entry fee collected from each participant.
To help make your event a success, The Island can provide promotional posters, collection tins, and QR codes linked directly to a JustGiving page to make donating simple and secure.
Place a collection tub in your shop, cafe or reception area
Hosting a collection tin is a simple way to support The Island and raise funds in your local community.
Choose a location with a steady flow of customers, particularly somewhere people are likely to make cash donations. Great locations include local shops, hairdressers, cafés, pubs, and community venues.
The Island can provide a collection tin, posters, and supporting materials to help you get started. Every donation, no matter how small, helps transform young lives through mentoring.
Host a coffee morning
Coffee mornings and tea parties are a wonderful way to bring together friends, family, colleagues, or your local community while supporting The Island.
Gather your favourite people, put the kettle on, enjoy some delicious treats.
As it’s for charity, maybe your local supermarket or bakery would donate some delicious treats.
Charity Football Match
Whether you're organising a match between friends, colleagues, local clubs, or community groups, you can raise funds through player entry fees, ticket sales, refreshments, and donations on the day.
The Island can provide posters, fundraising materials, and QR codes linked to a JustGiving page to help make your event a success.
