Organise a fundraiser
Put your own spin on fundraising
Hosting your own event is a brilliant way to raise money for Turning Tides while doing something you love – whether that’s dancing, baking, singing or simply bringing people together. Every event helps us support local people facing homelessness.
We’ve put together a fundraising pack with everything you need to get started. Download it below to make planning your event simple and stress-free.
Get Inspired
There’s no one right way to fundraise – creativity and community spirit are what make each event special. Here are a couple of examples of what our fantastic supporters have done:
- Zumba with Jo hosted a Zumbathon, bringing together seven dance instructors and over 60 participants for a fun-filled fitness fundraiser.
- The Quayside Ukes, a local ukulele club, have organised lively band nights and music parties to raise funds. Derek Parr, lead club member, says: “Homelessness is a terrible situation and we recognise it could happen to anyone at any time due to difficult life events. Raising money through simply running a raffle and donations from members is a starting point for our involvement with Turning Tides.”
Host Your Own SleepOut
If you’ve been inspired by our SleepOut events, you can hold your own version with friends, family, colleagues or at your school. It’s a powerful way to raise awareness and experience just a fraction of what rough sleeping might feel like, safely and together.
Our SleepOut pack includes tips on choosing a location, staying safe, and sharing your story online to encourage donations. Whether you sleep in a garden, community hall or even your living room, every participant helps us to bring people in from the cold.
