Gather friends, family and/or colleagues to organise your fundraising event for Bliss. The money your raise at your event will help the more than 90,000 babies that are cared for in neonatal units every year in the UK.
Planning your event
Pop the kettle on, make a cuppa and take time to think about the following questions:
Who will you invite to your event? Work colleagues, friends, family?
What kind of event do you want to organise?
Where is your event going to be?
When do you want to do your fundraising? Pick a date and time that gives you time to get organised and people will likely be able to attend.
How much do you want to raise? How will you raise the funds?
Why are you fundraising for Bliss? Let people know how your event is going to help Bliss improve outcomes for every single baby born premature and sick.
Remember to register your event with us so that we can support your fundraising.
Virtual events
If you would like to hold your event from the comfort of your own home, and would like to invite friends from across the country, consider holding a virtual event.
Consider all the questions above, but also think about:
