Bring people together and fundraise for Crisis. There's so many different ways you can get involved in a way that works for you. From bake sales to raffles, quizzes to fun runs, you can fundraising at work, in your community or with family and friends to help people build their lives beyond homelessness.
We're here to support you with ideas, advice and resources to help you make a real difference and have fun along the way!
Hosting a bake sale is a fun and easy fundraising idea for all ages. You could set up a stall at a school event, organise a bake sale at work, or sell baked goods to your neighbours! Bake sales are a great way to connect with other people, raise funds, and indulge in some tasty treats along the way!
Use our Crisis flags to decorate your bakes!
Quizzes are a great way to bring people together and test your knowledge for a good cause. Ask friends, family and colleagues to pay an entry fee and even hold a raffle at the same time to boost donations.
Check out our handy quiz template to get started!
Make a statement and wear Crisis red for a day. You could do this at school, work or with local community groups and ask for donations for people to get involved. You'll raise funds as well as awareness for Crisis' work.

We're blown away by our talented and creative fundraisers. Whether you're a yoga teacher or a pro at painting, you can use your skills to fundraise for Crisis. Teach a class and donate the proceeds to Crisis, or if crafts are your speciality, why not sell them in aid of Crisis?
You can use our supporting logo to let people know that they'll be supporting Crisis through you.
Ask for donations instead of cards and gifts at special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, graduations and retirements. By fundraising in celebration, you'll be making a difference for people experiencing homelessness.
