12 Days of FUNdraising All we want for christmas is to fulfil 25 dreams. Can you help? www.dreamscometrue.uk.com/christmas 1. Secret Santa
Instead of buying a gift for Secret Santa – why not donate £5 to Dreams Come True. You can purchase a gift certificate from our website.
3. #GivingTuesday
On December 1st why not share your hopes and dreams for your loved ones for 2016 and beyond. Download our dream star and share your #UNSELFIE @DCT_Charity or on Instagram #dreams4christmas.
5. Unwanted Christmas presents?
2. Donation in Lieu of Xmas Cards
The average person will spend at least £63 on posting cards. Why not make a donation to Dreams Come True instead? We can send you a festive message that you can email to friends & family.
4. Christmas Jingle Quiz
How many Christmas songs can you remember? Guess the artist and the name of the song. Bonus points for what year it was released! You can charge a fee to enter and split this between prize money and a donation to Dreams Come True.
Sell them on an online auction site such as e-bay or have a post-Christmas car boot sale. Donate all proceeds to The Dreams Come True Christmas Appeal.
6. Christmas Bake Off 7. Advent Calendar Countdown
Who doesn’t love counting down the days to Christmas? This year, share in the fun with everyone at work by taking it in turns to open an advent calendar – for a small donation,of course. If you can raise £25, you’ll be helping towards fulfilling a dream for a child with life-limiting conditions.
Are your mince pies magical? Your sausage rolls sensational? Put your Christmas cooking skills to the test and host a Christmas Bake off. Of course you can sell off all the entries to raise funds. Use the #Dreams4Christmas and we will retweet our favourite.
8. Santa Strutt
Get your Santa suits out and organise a Santa walk or run. Invite your customers or clients along. Why not end up at the pub for a mulled wine or two...
9. Xmas Jumper Day
Donate £1 to wear your favourite Christmas jumper to work and donate the proceeds to Dreams Come True. You could have a prize for the best dressed! Tweet us your pictures #Dreams4Christmas and we will add you to our jumper hall of fame!
10. Christmas Craft Fair
Holding a craft fair is a great way to harness that festive creativity. Get fellow crafters to man stalls, put on workshops such as wreath making, card making or cake decorating, sell mulled wine and mince pies to get everyone in a Christmassy mood. 12. Office Christmas Party Make use of the office Christmas party, hold a raffle or charge an entrance fee, hold a quiz or a ‘skills’ auction – who knows what secret talents your colleagues have!
Thank you for your support. With your help we can fulfil the dreams of 25 children this Christmas. If you know a child we could help please contact the Dream Team through our website.
11. Deck your Desk with Bells and Holly
Speed decorating. Challenge everyone to spend a lunch hour making their workspace as Christmassy as possible. Then ask a panel of judges to give a prize to the best (or most outlandish) desk.
