For more inspiration, below you’ll find ten other great ideas.
1. Sponsored bungee jump
If you’re an adrenaline seeker then why not do a sponsored bungee jump? Those who have done one claim it’s one of the most exhilarating things they’ve ever done. This idea won’t be suitable for everyone, but it’s definitely up there on the charity fundraising list!
2. Karaoke night
Know people who hate to sing in public? A charity karaoke night could be just what they need to get up and do it. A lot of people would pay good money to see their loved ones get up and do karaoke. You’re guaranteed a fun evening and it will be something to remember.
3. Get your kit off!
Already there will be people scrolling down to the next item on the list! However, before you panic we’re not talking about getting naked and running down your local high street.

If you’re looking for something to test your fitness, a sporting challenge could be ideal. It could be a golfing challenge or a football challenge; you don’t even have to be very good at it. Half the fun is watching people mess up on these challenges. It’s a great way to raise money while having fun.

Do you love to bake? If so turn that talent into a coffee morning or a bake sale. Create as many cakes as you can and sell them off.
