Fundraising ideas

☕ Tea Time for Sight

Invite friends and colleagues to support sight-saving research in a relaxed and meaningful way. Host a coffee morning or afternoon tea where everyone brings their own bakes to share—it’s a simple yet powerful way to make a difference.

🎉 Host an event

Turn your passions into purpose by organising a fundraising event that reflects your interests. From quiz nights to sip & paint sessions, film screenings to golf days—do something you love and help shape a clearer future at the same time.

🏃 Take on a challenge

Ready to push your limits? Take part in a sponsored challenge—whether it’s a 5K run, marathon, skydive, or even bog snorkelling (yes, really!). Not into sports? No problem. You could give up something you love for a month, or take on a creative challenge like a 24-hour knitathon or gamathon. Whatever you choose, your efforts will help fund vital research.

🍰 Bake for breakthroughs

Let’s face it—everyone loves cake. So why not bake for a cause? Host a bake sale, set up a cake stall, or deliver sweet treats in your community. It’s a delicious way to raise funds and awareness.

🎟️ Hold a raffle

Raffles are a brilliant way to boost your fundraising, especially as part of a larger event. Ask local businesses to donate prizes and sell tickets to friends, family, and neighbours. Just make sure to check our Fundraising safely and legally page before you get started.

🎨 Get crafty

If you’re handy with a needle, brush, or glue gun, put your creativity to good use. Sell your handmade items online or at local fairs and markets to raise money for sight research. Every stitch, sketch, and sculpture helps bring us closer to a future without sight loss.
