Community Fundraising
Bake sale/coffee morning – Hold a bake sale and raise funds for Vista. Cake sales and coffee mornings are easy to organise and fun to do at home, work, school or in your local community. Get your friends involved to help you spread the word.
Hold an event – quiz nights, family fun days, bingo parties, pamper parties, fancy dress days, auctions or balls are all excellent ways to raise money and get people involved. Are you part of an organisation, such as Guides, a singing choir, a sports club or social club? Why not do a charity raffle, a concert or match, or sweepstake to raise funds.
Fundraising at work – Why not make the corporate event a fundraiser? Hosting fundraising activities at work is a great way to bond with your colleagues while raising vital funds for Vista. E.g challenge your colleagues to a round of golf, If you think your employer would be interested in fundraising for Vista, please visit our corporate partnerships page for more information.
Challenge yourself – Fancy running a marathon or tackling an overseas trek? Whether it’s a couch to 5k challenge, a marathon, or climbing a mountain, challenges are a great way to raise money whilst doing something you love.

Volunteer your time – Donate your time and help out with activities like bucket collections, marshalling events, or collecting money from donation boxes in your local area. Visit our Volunteering Events page for upcoming opportunities.
Organise a sports day – Love football, rugby or cricket? Why not get everyone together and organise a tournament? You can charge for entry and encourage your team mates to ask for sponsorship. Skittles and bowling get everyone involved, no matter what age or ability.
