Fundraising Ideas
There are as many ways to raise funds as there are to spend them, here we have gathered some ideas. If you have any other fundraising ideas please let us know - there can never be too many!
As our main source of income is patient donations one of the most important fundraising activities is reaching out to potential patients and telling them that we exist. So many of our patients remark that they wish they had found out about us sooner. So becoming more visible to the public, and thereby to those who could use our services, is important also for fundraising purposes. We therefore ask you all to spread the word, to family and friends, but also to colleagues and maybe even your occupational health service, and especially to your GP.
If you would be like to do a sponsored event of some kind, for example a 10k run or something else we would be very grateful. You can use Virgin Money Giving to help you raise even more money. If you are considering a fundraising event of any kind it is worth checking if your employer would be willing to match what you raise. Many employers regularly do this, for example WHSmith. For more information and advice please contact our CEO Heather Sim on 020 7251 3322.
You can also raise money for us while using the Internet and shopping online. If you use Easysearch when you want to find something online you add pennies, which might not sound a lot - but it adds up. Best of all - it is entirely free!
There is also Easyfundraising which means that we get a cash-back donation when you use the site for your online shopping. There are over 600 brand names including; Amazon, M & S, John Lewis, Tesco, Direct Line Insurance, Argos, Boden, the Body Shop, Laura Ashley, B & Q, Waterstones, Vodafone, WH Smith, Dell, Tiscali, Next, PC World, HMV, Boots & Comet.
"We used Easyfundraising when we renewed our car insurance and it gave £30 to the Clinic without costing us a penny!"
If you wish to make a purchase you log on to www.easyfundraising.org.uk/migraineclinic and find the company you normally use and simply click the link. The donation will then go straight to The City of London Migraine Clinic. Like Easysearch this does not cost you anything.
