A great way to get started is to choose something you enjoy and are good at: you already have the know-how and contacts to get started. A golf or tennis competition for example, or a music evening – or a bake-off
Or think about an activity you’ll be doing anyway – for example a tea party, a friendly match, an afternoon of bridge. By adding a raffle and inviting donations, you’ll raise money for a great cause while enjoying the company of your great friends.
Get your colleagues, friends or neighbours involved – they can offer moral support as well as practical help in the planning.
We’ll be pleased to help you promote your event. If you’d like us to spread the word, let us know the details and we’ll share your event on our website and Facebook page. And do send us some pictures from the day – we’ll be pleased to share news of how you got on!
