Your Own Event

There are many things you could do to help fundraise on behalf of Glasgow Women's Aid. Your only limitation is your own imagination!!!

Here are a few suggestions of ways you could help raise much needed funds for the women, children and young people who access our services:-

Dress Down Day

Organise a dress down day at work (with permission of the boss!) and get every member of staff to donate for the privilege.

Bake Sale

Arrange a bake sale at work, school event or church charity drive. Everyone loves home baking and is a cheap way to fundraise. Even those that cannot cook can buy from a shop and sell as their own!!

Trivia Night or Dinner Party

Hold a trivia night or dinner party in your home. Invite your family and friends and charge for entry.

Sweepstake

You could also organise a sweepstake for an upcoming sporting event. There are plenty to take part in from football to tennis or the Grand National. Simply award the winner 50% of the total takings and the other 50% can go to your chosen fundraising cause.

Car Wash

Get your kids involved and have a car wash in your local area.Children love the idea of fundraising. Not only does it teach them a lot of essential skills such as organisation, money handling, responsibility and planning, but it also shows them that it’s an honourable thing to raise cash for those less fortunate than themselves.

Get Creative

When it comes to getting wild and wacky with fundraising, creation is the most important factor along with organisation. The better your idea, the easier it is to be passionate about it and create something fun that will inspire others to take part or to support your cause. Don’t be afraid to try new things either. If you think you have a wild or wacky idea, so long as it’s not offending anyone, why not give it a go. As always, if it’s taking place publicly, check with your local authority for any permits you may need and always act responsibly.
