Fundraising can be a lot of fun.....

It is a great way to make new acquaintances and meet up with old friends. Anyone can organise an event, you just need an idea and the commitment to follow it through. It can be as simple as a coffee morning or as complicated as a village fair.

There are many creative and fun ways to raise money for LOROS. We hope that the ideas we have included in the Fundraising A to Z will provide you with inspiration for your events. For the more adventurous, check out Charity Challenges for endurance and adrenalin buzzing ideas.

However, once you have decided on the event you want to organise, there are still several questions you need to answer to ensure it runs successfully.

How will I promote the event?  What do I need to do to ensure the event is safe and legal?  How will I manage the money raised?

Our Guides, forms and ideas can help you get started and can be viewed/downloaded from the side bar on the right. 

The "Guide to Fundraising" is a good place to start -

Let us know what you are doing and if you need any further help, please contact the fundraising team by telephoning 0116 231 8431/2 or emailing fundraising@loros.co.uk

Lastly, and most improtantly, have fun - oh, and don't forget to send us some photographs and a short write up of your event so that we can add it to the "Look back" section on our media page!
