Changing lives in your local community
We rely heavily on the generous support of our local community to raise around 85% of our £18.9m total income for the year. If you’re looking for local charity fundraising ideas, you’ve come to the right place. At Rennie Grove Peace, our dedicated community fundraising team can help you make a real difference in your local community.
When you host your own event or fundraise for us in other ways, you’re making a massive difference to families in Bucks and Herts. Thanks to people like you – who host quizzes, dinners, coffee mornings and more – local families facing life-limiting illness get specialist care and support.
You can fundraise for us in so many ways, from hosting an event to having a collection box in your home, community hub or workplace.
Local charity fundraising ideas:
Join an event…
We have a variety of fundraising events taking place across the year – check out our What’s On calendar to see what you could get involved with – or get inspiration for your own event.
…or organise your own
Go smaller scale (but no less challenging) and get sponsored to give up chocolate, alcohol or social media for a month! How about hosting a social event like a coffee morning or bake sale? Keen gardeners could hold a plant sale perhaps – or could you open up your garden for people to enjoy?
There are so many exciting ways you can get involved!
Get in touch with our Community Team and let them know what you are doing – we have balloons, banners and our friendly team are always on hand to help and very happy to hear from you.
Helpful tools and tips for holding a fundraising event
However you choose to fundraise, whether it’s a quiz, coffee morning, golf day or bake sale, you will be making a huge difference to the care we can provide for local people when they need us most.
We have created a Fundraising Guide to help you get the best out of your fundraising. The tools and tips in this handy guide aim to inspire you and provide some ideas for ways in which you can support us.
