Planning your event

Get in touch with the fundraising team at St Nic’s. We can help provide you with everything you should need to make your event as successful as possible. We also have lots of contacts and volunteers that may be willing to support you.

Set a date. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get organised and for people to put it in their diaries. Try to make sure your event doesn’t clash with other big local events and key dates. Once again, the fundraising team will be able to help if you are unsure.

Set a target. Be ambitious, as this can motivate others to give. However, fundraising should be fun! Avoid putting pressure on yourself. Our team can suggest achievable targets, and how to increase income. We are grateful for whatever you raise against your target.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether it’s friends, family or colleagues. You’ll be amazed at how many people are willing to support you. Local companies may also be willing to help supply raffle prizes/publicity etc.
