Community Fundraising
Help us to make recovery visible in Essex
Thank you for thinking of fundraising to support Essex Recovery Foundation’s mission. Every bake sale, challenge, quiz night, or creative idea helps us to continue supporting people on their recovery journeys across Essex.
Whether you already have a plan or are just exploring ideas, we’re here to to help make your fundraising experience as rewarding as possible.
Ways to Fundraise
Want to fundraise but not sure how? Whether you’re going solo or working in a team, we have some ideas to inspire you!
-
Organising an event is a great way to bring your friends, family and the wider recovery community together for a great cause. From quiz nights to drag bingo events to coffee mornings, whatever your idea, we can support you with some top tips to maximise your fundraising.
-
If you want to set yourself a big goal this year, why don’t you ask for sponsorship in return? From skydives, abseils, running races and hiking, small donations from your friends and family will ensure your efforts don’t go to waste!
Don’t forget that we’re now accepting applications to run for Essex Recovery Foundation at the London Marathon 2027! So if you’ve always wanted to take on this iconic challenge, you can find out more here.
-
Second-hand sales are a brilliant way to support Essex Recovery Foundation while doing something positive for the planet. By giving your pre-loved items a new lease of life, you’re not only raising vital funds but also helping reduce waste and support a more sustainable community.
-
Instead of asking for gifts, you could consider asking your loved ones to make a donation to Essex Recovery Foundation instead.
-
There really is no limit to what is possible in terms of fundraising - and there are loads of weird and wonderful ways to give back to Essex Recovery Foundation. Just get in touch with us (carly@essexrecoveryfoundation.org) to talk to us about your idea.
