If you’re looking to raise some much-needed funds for Off the Record, you’re in the right place!

We also have a specific page for businesses/groups looking to fundraise, so you might want to check that out too.

IDEAS FOR FUNDRAISING EVENTS

For individual fundraisers looking for ideas, we’ve found that the following work well, but we also love seeing what our supporters come up with themselves, too! Why not contact our Development Manager, James, if you want to talk through any ideas, email: jamesbrown@offtherecord-banes.co.uk.

1. Run for us!

Many supporters are keen athletes who are sponsored to complete various distance events such as Tough Mudder or 10k runs.  In addition, we have a number of charity places available at the annual Bath Half marathon. The next event is in October 2023, and we ask for a minimum amount of £200 to be raised by our runners. Interested? Contact James, details above.

 

2. Shop for us!

Until 21 October 2023, we are thrilled to be part of Co-op Community Fund. Every £1 you spend at Co-op equals a 2p donation to OTR! To activate this, become a Co-op member for just £1 and select OTR BaNES as your chosen cause.  You can do it online right now! Click here.

To make your fundraiser a success, make sure you share what you are doing! Advertise it at work, school or in your local area. Tell friends and family to get as many people involved as possible, and don’t forget to let us know as well, so we can help you promote it!

 It’s a great idea to share across social media too… this way you can post stories and post regular updates of your event. Be sure to mention us too:
