Top tips to help you meet your fundraising target:

Event Planning Tips

Use your contactsThink about who you know that may be able to help you, not just through

participating but contributing something to your event.

1

Get the word outPeople can’t get tickets/ sponsor

you/participate unless you tell them about it. Tell your colleagues, friends,

family, sports club - everyone you know! Try and use several mediums to

get the word out. For example, online and in person.

4

Do the mathsWork out how many people you need to buy tickets/ sponsor you/pay to

participate and how much they need to pay. Make sure there is a balance

between hitting your fundraising target but still making it affordable

for participants.

Give yourself timeMake sure you plan your event

well in advance, this gives you the chance to make it everything you

want it to be.
