Committee for my sons pre school - ideas for fundraising please

[Biosblbay]

Would love some different ideas for fundraising please. My sons pre school is committee run so it has to have a committee in order to continue and stay open. This will also be my daughter’s pre school when that time comes. I have volunteered to be the committee’s fundraiser to come up with ways to bring in some money. I have the basics in mind, raffles, cakes sales, a local lottery but would love some more ideas, especially ones that are a bit different to the usual.

I love planning and organising, I live for things like this so I am up for a challenge!

thank you in advance ☺️ x

What about things like printing Christmas cards that the kids design and then selling them to parents, tea towels etc.

Send an honest email to parents and previous parents and ask for money. I'd pay £50 a year to not do any of the fundraising/PTA crap.

My daughter fundraised by buying a diary, getting people pay £1 for a selected date (ie 29 June then you write their name on that date but keep a list as well, we found it easier). Then once all dates sold, there was a draw, the person who had that date won half the money and the other half went to the fundraising. It was 2024 so £183 for both winner and fundraiser

A 100 club
40 + places a month @£5 (creates £200)
1 place drawn per month wins £100.
The club keeps the other £100.

Play with the figures to suit.
You could have second & third prizes too.

Agreed!

Speak to local supermarkets and shops about donations. Tesco do the blue token scheme if you have a big tesco nearby, we got a significant amount from that.

Summer/Christmas fete with tombola using goods brought in after a "dress up for a bottle" day, as long as you have a place to store all the bottles! For previous fetes we've rented out tables to local crafters and businesses to sell their wares.
