Fundraising Ideas for the Samworth Brothers Charity Challenge 2026

Taking on the Samworth Brothers Charity Challenge 2026 is no small feat – it’s a real test of endurance, determination and teamwork. But just as important as the event itself is the fundraising journey that helps to change lives and support brilliant charities along the way.

If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some simple, fun and effective ideas to help boost your fundraising while bringing people together.

 

Classic favourites

• Bake sale – nothing beats homemade cakes. Get the team baking and enjoy the donations (and the leftovers!).
• Raffle or tombola – ask local businesses for donated prizes such as vouchers, hampers or experiences.
• Charity car wash – roll up your sleeves, grab the sponges, and offer washes for donations.

 

Active and outdoors

• Sponsored walk, run or cycle – a great way to get active with friends and family while raising funds.
• Step challenge – encourage colleagues to join a month-long step count competition, with entry fees adding to your total.
• Five-a-side football match – arrange a mini-tournament and charge for team entry (spectators can chip in too).
• Cricket matches between bakeries or teams – a friendly match with a fundraising twist.

 

Workplace fundraisers

• Dress-down day – simple but effective. Everyone chips in a couple of pounds to swap office wear for casual clothes.
• Sweepstake – run a “guess the time” or “guess the distance” sweepstake for your team’s Challenge result.
• On-site Company Shop – donate profits from sales to boost your fundraising total.

 

Social and community ideas

• Pub quiz or games night – host it at your local pub, sports club or community hall. Add a raffle for extra fun.
• Charity dinner or BBQ – gather friends, family and colleagues for an evening of good food and fundraising.
• Craft or plant sale – sell homemade items, seasonal crafts or spare plants.

 

Seasonal specials

• Christmas jumper day – everyone donates to take part, with a prize for the best jumper.

 

Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to keep it simple and fun.

• Spread the word – use posters, social media and word of mouth.
• Share your story – tell people why you’re taking on the Charity Challenge and the charities you’re supporting.
• Don’t forget to tag #samworthbrothers on LinkedIn so we can celebrate your efforts too!
