| Whether you’re a part of a charity fundraising team or you’re going solo, fundraising for a charity that you hold close to your heart is always rewarding, not to mention the support you’re giving to those who need it most. |
| |
| We have learned that the peak months for giving money to charity are November and December *. This could be due to Christmas campaigns and increased sympathy and generosity from the public during these months. Plus, we have ‘Giving Tuesday’ on the 30th November. |
| |
| As fundraising changes and adapts to a post-pandemic life, we can expect to see virtual events embraced, but giving way to the physical event much more often – or of course hybrid events, which are a combination of online and in person** |
| |
|
|
| Not sure where to start with your fundraising for this year? Consider this your fundraising starter pack. Whether you’re working with a charity, school or fundraising independently, now is the best time to make the most of the public’s generous festive spirit! |
| |
| Fundraising in the winter months is hard, so you’ll need all the right supplies! |
| |
The Essentials:
|
|
|
Money Boxes
Made from responsibly sourced card and available to print all over in full colour, this money box is perfect for any stands, sales or shops.
|
 |
 |
Seeded Wrist Band
Whatever your fundraising event, branded wristbands are always a good idea to pull together an event. These seeded wristbands are a sustainable alternative to a fundraising essential. Once users are done with them, they can be planted to grow into flowers, rather than ending up in a landfill!
|
Table Cloth
Stay fully branded and easily recognisable at your fundraising events with this fully branded (or just a simple logo) table cloth. This table cloth is available in different sizes and is washable (so no need to replace after every event)!
|
 |
 |
Lanyard
Unify your fundraising volunteers and create a unity on the team with these eco-friendly bamboo fibre lanyards. They are biodegradable, which makes them much more sustainable than the polyester alternative, and so have a positive impact on the environment. Put your logo anywhere and Pantone match the lanyard colour at no extra cost!

|
Keeping Warm:
|
IMPACT Beanie
Don’t be a fair-weather fundraiser! However chilly it may get this winter, these beanies from our IMPACT range are sure to keep you warm. Each beanie is produced using water-saving dye techniques (saving 5 litres per hat) and is made with mixed recycled materials. Available to print or embroider with your logo.
|
 |
 |
Hand Warmers
These hand warmers are a brilliant way to stay warm at any outside event this winter. They are available in different shapes, colours and branding options to suit your needs and are reusable hundreds of times after being recharged in hot water!
|
Universal Tumbler - Bio
There's nothing better than a hot cup of tea (or coffee) on a wintry morning. Just because you're out and about fundraising, doesn't mean you should miss out on a warming drink! This Universal Tumbler helps to keep your drink warm for longer and is biodegradable - whether it ends up in a landfill or the ocean, it breaks down completely!

|
Take It To The Next Level:
|
Balloons
Whether you're an adult or a child, everyone loves balloons! Eye-catching on a display, or handed out to those who make a donation, all eyes will be on you with these bright balloons. They are available in 14 different colours and a full colour print.
|
 |
 |
Enamel Pin Badges
Ideal to unify the fundraising team or to give out to patrons, badges have long been used as a symbol for the public to show their support for a cause, charity or community organisation. We can Pantone match the enamel to get your perfect branded solution!
|
Stickers
Whatever the event, stickers always come in handy! Whether you’re running a charity sport event, coffee morning or stall at a local market, giving away stickers will get your brand name out there and known!
|
 |
|
Power Bank
Livestream your event, post photos on your social media, giving people to donate even if they couldn’t make it (or live too far away!) There’s so much potential to increase your donations by utilising the online community, even at an in-person event, so don’t miss out!
|
| 34% of donors say that social media is the most inspirational communication tool inspiring them to give. 44% donate through Facebook and 80% of all donations were made digitally in 2020+ - so don't let all that potential go to waste by running out of charge! |
Stay Safe:
|
PPE Pack
Including face masks, gloves, hand sanitisers and screen divider cleaner, keep your volunteers safe this fundraising season as they venture out into the public.
Either plain or branded with your logo these are ideal, for in-person events as they gradually open up once more.
|
 |
 |
Anti Bacterial Pen
Taking sign ups? With these branded antibacterial pens, your volunteers and patrons will be safe!
|
|
Of course, your event may not call for ALL these products, but they can definitely level up your fundraising!
