Fundraising in your office

Bring your workforce together to support Cure Parkinson’s! From rewarding team-building activities to meaningful personal challenges, there are so many ways to make a real difference.

No matter the size of your company, there are so many creative ways to get involved, whether you want to do a one-off event, or year-round activities. Below we have picked some of our favourites.

Don’t forget to check if your organisation offers match funding, which can double your impact by matching every pound you raise.

Fundraising ideas to get you started

• Office quiz – An office quiz is a straightforward way to fundraise and build team morale. All you will need to do is pull together some questions, set up teams and request an entry fee or donation from each participant or group. This is a great way to get all staff members involved, regardless of where they are based.
• Bake sale – Hit the kitchens and get baking. Turn your office into a bakery full of homemade goodies whilst you fundraise. You could even set up a tuck shop and sell your sweet treats to your office or building.
• Sweepstake – Whether it’s the World Cup, Wimbledon, or the next series of Strictly, host a sweepstake and charge £2 per name and split the prize pot with the winner and Cure Parkinson’s.
• Skills auction – Turn your team’s hidden talents into funds for charity by hosting a skills auction. Employees volunteer their time or expertise, from baking a cake, designing a logo, giving a photography lesson or offering DIY help, to leading a yoga class. Auction off and share your skills with the highest bidder. You could run this as a live auction at an event, or as a silent online auction.
• Company raffle – Host a company raffle and request donations from local businesses, suppliers, staff members, or senior management. Employees buy tickets for the chance to win exciting prizes. These could include extra annual leave or use of a reserved parking space. Sell tickets over a set period, then announce the winners in a fun reveal, perhaps during a team meeting.

Whatever the season, there are plenty of fundraising ideas for you to take part in as a team.
