Dear John,

There are so many great reasons to donate to Health Poverty Action to support our work, but not everyone can afford to give money at the moment. If you're not able to donate, why not get involved and contribute to sustainable change in another way?

It can be difficult to think of fundraising ideas that would work for your workplace or community group, so take a look at our new A-Z of Fundraising below and see if anything inspires you.

Workplace fundraising ideas:

Some of the best ways to fundraise for Health Poverty Action are by giving something in exchange for a donation. Some of our supporters have had amazing success when hosting a bake sale at work, raising almost £600 in one go! With a bake sale you can ask people to bring in homemade goods and sell them in your office or kitchen area. People love a sweet treat to break up the working day, and what better way to introduce Health Poverty Action to colleagues than leaving them with a sweet taste in their mouth!

Weekend activities:

Maybe you would rather fundraise with friends and family instead of at work, so why not try to host a curry night? Many of you will be familiar with a campaign called Curry for Change, well, we're bringing it back! Curry for Change is an amazing DIY event that you can host in the comfort of your own home. Invite your friends and family over for a curry night, ask everyone to bring a dish or side and share flavours and stories of Health Poverty Action's work. The donations will roll in as people donate the cost of their typical curry takeaway to your night.

Challenge event:

Receiving donations to encourage you on your way to completing a challenge event for Health Poverty Action is another exciting way to contribute to our work. We have many options open to our supporters:

• TCS London Marathon 2025 (donate to #TeamHPA 2024 here!)
• Local Half Marathons
• Obstacle courses
• 5 & 10K runs
• Bike races
• And much more!

If you're interested in any of these events, please get in touch and I can reserve your space! The fundraising targets vary for each challenge event, some start as little as a £100.

We have ways for everyone to get involved, so check out our A-Z of Fundraising or have a go at DIY Fundraising for Health Poverty Action today!

If you have any questions or would like to talk through some of your fundraising ideas, reply to this email and I will be happy to help.

In solidarity,

Tab
