  • Non Uniform Day: Talk to your teacher about a non uniform day. Charge each person a fixed fee and donate the proceeds to charity.
  • Sponsored Silence: Be quiet for a set amount of time and ask people to sponsor you for each hour.
  • Get Active: Sign up for a race - maybe a couple of miles, or a half marathon, even a full marathon, or even have an eating contest - and ask people to sponsor your challenge.
  • Quiz night: Hold a quiz night, charge people £1 per entry and supply a small prize for the winner. Donate the proceeds to charity.
  • Sports event: Organize an event (eg. a football tournament), charge each team an entry fee, supply a small prize and donate the proceeds to charity.
  • Disco nights: Hold a party (maybe fancy dress), charge an entry fee, give the best dressed couple a small prize and donate the proceeds to charity.
  • Go Without: Choose something you would really miss (Games console, TV, chocolate) and ask people to sponsor you for the duration of the challenge, or for each day you manage without.
  • Car boot sales: Sell all your unwanted items and donate the proceeds to charity.
  • House Work: Ask your friends and family to sponsor a shark if you hoover or wash up everyday.
  • Dress down or up days: Similar to non uniform days but these days can also be used at work. 
  • Treasure hunts: Hide small prizes around a garden, charge people an entry fee and donate the proceeds to charity. Alternatively, organize a treasure hunt on a larger scale - maybe orienteering with maps and compasses.
  • Bring a bottle party: Set a date for 3 months time, ask all the guests to start filling a bottle with loose change now. They bring the bottle to the party and the largest collection wins a small prize.
  • Parachute jump/sponsored abseil: Ask people to sponsor you taking part in a weird and wonderful activity.
  • Celebrity night: Get dressed up and have a karaoke night (record it and sell the cds).
  • Raffles: Get people to make or draw pictures as the prizes, sell the raffle tickets for a small amount and donate the proceeds to charity.
  • Sponsored toddle (baby race): Organize a baby race at a school fair or friends and family barbeque. Charge an entrance fee, supply a small prize and donate the proceeds to charity.
