There are loads of ways to fundraise for Surrey Poet Laureateship CIC. When you support our poetry initiatives, you’re helping individuals find their voice while strengthening communities, nurturing creativity, and promoting connection. Every pound you raise helps turn words into a force for empowerment, healing, and resilience across Surrey.

​

Here are our top 10 suggestions to get you started:

• Get active: Go the extra mile to inspire your friends, family and colleagues to donate. Why not try a race or sporting event? Or take on a steps challenge as a team to meet a combined distance or fundraising target – a great way to engage teammates across the country.
   

• Get brave: Take on a bold challenge like a skydive, abseil or ambitious fitness goal and encourage supporters to sponsor your efforts.
   

• Get baking: Dust off your aprons and show off your skills with a classic fundraising bake sale.
   

• Get decluttering: Clear out your clutter and donate the proceeds to your chosen cause. Sell second-hand items online via Vinted, Facebook Marketplace or eBay, or host a traditional car boot sale.
   

• Get dressed up: Encourage your work team to dress up for the day and collect donations from participants and spectators in support of your cause. Choose a fun theme to boost engagement.
   

• Get brewing: Host a coffee morning and invite friends, family or colleagues to enjoy a cuppa in exchange for a donation.
   

• Get quizzing: Organise a quiz night and run a fun trivia evening, charging an entry fee for teams.
   

• Get screening: Plan a movie night, show a favourite film and raise funds by selling tickets and snacks.
   

• Get performing: Put on a talent show and charge an entry fee for performers and audience members alike.
   

• Get creative: Host a craft workshop or creative challenge – from painting to wreath-making – and ask participants for a suggested donation to take part.
