Festive Fundraising 2023, Solved

This festive period is set to be one of the toughest yet for charities, CASCs and CICs, with many organisations reporting a dip in donors as a direct result of the cost-of-living crisis affecting the UK. Here at Give as you Live, we’re committed to offering a plethora of free fundraising opportunities to help diversify your income during this difficult time and beyond.

If you’re looking for ideas for festive fundraising events, alternative ways for your supporters to stay engaged when they cannot give, or support for your winter campaigns, read on!

We’re not sure if it’s the dressing up, or the community festive spirit, but people LOVE a Santa Run. You could ask the local school, sports centre or sports team to donate their open space for a night or contact your local council about an event in your town. Alternatively, host a remote Santa Run, where people can walk or run their own route at a time that suits them – dress up optional!

There's a ready-made campaign in your toolkit, so no design costs either!

Ask for a gift with a difference

Set up Give as you Live Online and invite your supporters to raise a free donation for you whenever they shop online for Christmas presents, groceries and more. It’s completely free for you and your supporters – we turn the affiliate spend from our retail partners into donations to charity.

Plus, don’t miss out on our Festive Giveaway – your chance to win up to £1,500 in bonus donations for your charity!

The gift of choice

Prefer to give your supporters some variety? Why not offer a few different fundraising options as part of one campaign? For example, they could choose from walking, running or cycling a set distance over a specified time period, hosting a festive sale, selling a service or item, or hosting a workplace competition for the best-dressed festive desk!

Our Campaign Pages can collect donations from multiple fundraisers so you’ll be able to see everyone’s collective efforts in one place!
