Foster Care Fortnight
Foster Care Fortnight is in May. More than a quarter of young people at Centrepoint have been in care. They often have little choice but to deal with the challenges and responsibilities of living independently at a young age. Traumas faced in early life make care leavers some of the most vulnerable young people in our communities. Centrepoint provides specialist psychotherapy sessions to help our young people overcome their traumatic past.
It is also World Sleep Day (March) during Spring.
Top fundraising ideas for Spring
World Book Day (March)
How about hosting a book club for all your family and friends in aid of Centrepoint? Invite them round for a discussion about the book and provide drinks and nibbles. Ask them for a donation to take part. You could even choose a book about homelessness to raise awareness of the cause
National Old Stuff Day (March)
This is the perfect opportunity to do that much-needed spring clean. You could then sell all your unwanted items online or in person in exchange for a donation to Centrepoint.
St Patrick's Day (March)
Why not hold a party for all your friends and family? You could ask them to dress up in green and serve green food and drink! Ask them to make a donation to attend and you could host an outfit competition with an extra donation to enter.
Easter egg hunt (March/April)
A great way to keep the kids entertained whilst raising money for a good cause. Ask the other parents to make a donation to Centrepoint to take part. You could also include egg painting and play the knife and fork chocolate game! Don’t forget to serve some hot cross buns. We’ll provide the decorations so you can focus on having a good time.
International Dance Day (April)
This is the perfect opportunity to host a dance-athon. Get friends and family to sponsor you to dance all night and every time you sit down you have to pay a forfeit to Centrepoint. Alternatively, you could host a Strictly Come Dancing competition and ask participants to make a donation to enter. Gather a judging panel and a dance partner and boogie on down!
National Walking Month (May)
Ask friends and family to sponsor you to take on a step challenge such as 12,000 steps a day in May for Centrepoint. Get active in the sunshine whilst raising money for a great cause! Email us beforehand to request your branded t-shirt to wear.
