Do your own thing - finding creative ways to fundraise
There's no denying that we're living in uncertain times. Now more than ever, we need to see people's faces & hear them laugh. Connection boosts our own and others' wellbeing after all. And by adapting to the times, you'll be fundraising for our future.
- It's time to think outside the box about how we connect with family, friends and colleagues online.
- Technology is our friend and getting people together on a group audio/video chat has never been easier. Here are a few options to get you started: Skype, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger.
- Anything is possible with 'Stream for Samaritans'. Learn how to virtually livestream your fundraising challenge & connect with others.
- Let's inspire hope, positivity, and a sense of community.
Here are a few ideas to inspire these new ways of fundraising:
- Walk, run, or cycle together virtually - whether you're set to do a walk, run or cycle, why not try it on your own. That way you still get some fresh air, exercise and the feel-good factor of completing your challenge! Try Strava or MapMyFitness to track your progress.
- Virtual workout challenge - reach out to your local HIIT, yoga, or pilates instructor & see if they’ll host a virtual workout challenge to support Samaritans.
- Virtual trivia or quiz night - keep your social lives on track by hosting a virtual quiz night from the comfort of your own home. Set an “entrance” donation fee, set yourself up on Tiltify & invite everyone you know.
- Virtual gaming/music challenge - from charity video gaming (did someone say a Mario Kart marathon?) to streaming your own gig from your living room, you can bring everyone together on a live streaming platform.
- Virtual Brew Monday - get your friends together in a video call, so you can still socialise safely, and ask them to donate what they would've given for a slice of cake for the pleasure of your virtual company instead.
Whatever you've chosen to do to support us, let us know what you're planning and join #TeamSamaritans.
