Fundraising Ideas

Are you a whizz in the kitchen and enjoy baking? Why not host a bake sale at your place of work, with friends or family. Who doesn’t love cake!

If you are a gamer, raising funds through live streaming is so popular right now! Why not host a 24-hour gaming session and live stream to raise funds for the STV Children’s Appeal.

Other more traditional fundraising ideas in this category could be selling tickets to school talent shows, dance class displays, classic car shows or host a dress down day at work or school.

Why not give something up for the STV Children’s Appeal? Take on the personal challenge of giving up something for a period of time to help support children living in poverty in Scotland. It can range from chocolates or sweets: this will be a tough one for anyone with a sweet tooth to coffee from coffee shops: stop yourself from grabbing your daily morning treat for a month or even a year, you could even donate the amount you would have spent on hot drinks to the STV Children’s Appeal.

Fundraising over occasions and celebrations is a great way to bring your friends, family and colleagues together to raise money for the STV Children’s Appeal. We would love to hear what you have planned, please keep in touch!

Do you have a birthday or special anniversary coming up? Instead of presents you could ask friends and family to donate to the STV Children’s Appeal.

If you’re a thrill-seeker, you could experience the adrenaline of a charity skydive, zip slide or abseil event. There’s lots of places all over Scotland that you can sign up to take part in one of these adrenaline filled challenges and support the STV Children’s Appeal.

Whatever you decide to do – thank you! Your support will help give care and provide essential supplies to those children who are affected by poverty in Scotland and ensure they don’t go hungry, cold or feel isolated.
