Here are some fundraising ideas to get you started:

Be active – get moving and improve your physical and mental health along the way!

  • Organise an individual event like a sponsored swim or cycle, and set yourself a personal fitness challenge as well as a fundraising target.
  • Join a national event like a marathon or the Three Peaks Challenge and nominate BSAVA PetSavers as your chosen charity.
  • Get a team together and create a sports tournament such as five-a-side football – making it competitive can make it even more fun and you can encourage other local families, businesses, school mates or colleagues to get involved.
  • Why not go abroad and set yourself a challenge, just like Jackie Harrop who cycled across Costa Rica or Wolfgang Dohne who took part in the world’s most northern cross-country ski race in Svalgard, an island off the north coast of Scandinavia.

Be brave – take on a challenge and reap the rewards!

  • Why not do something daring like a skydive, bungee jump or zip wire challenge, just like Northwest Surgeons vet practice. The challenge will benefit you as well as PetSavers and if you are doing it as a group, it is a great opportunity for team building.
  • Encourage your child, niece, nephew or grandchild to conquer their fears! If you know someone who is learning to swim, work with them to set a challenge and a timescale and ask people to sponsor them. This will help them gain a skill and support PetSavers at the same time.

Be sociable – fundraise with friends, colleagues or your local community and have fun!

  • Organise a charity dog walk or puppy socialisation play dates with your clients and charge a fee.
  • Host a raffle at a regional event or within your practice.
  • Raise money within your practice by holding a cake sale or having an open day with games.
  • Organise sweepstakes for events such as Wimbledon or Strictly Come Dancing.
  • Arrange a picnic in the park for clients and their four-legged friends and charge an entry fee.
  • Create a pub quiz-style event for clients or local businesses and charge a fee.
