Easy fundraising ideas
You do not need to organise a big event to make a difference. A simple activity with friends, family, colleagues, your school, club or local community can quickly add up. Donate the money through the Big Give Christmas Challenge and it could be doubled.
Some easy ideas include:
- Hold a non-uniform, dress-down or dress-up day
- Organise a sweepstake for a sporting event
- Organise a cake sale
- Encourage colleagues to donate the cost of a coffee for a day
- Run an early festive jumper day
- Run a lunchtime or evening quiz
- Hold a “Guess the Sweets in the Jar” competition
- Run a “Guess the Name” competition
- Organise a bring-and-buy sale
- Ask people to donate their spare change
- Host a coffee morning
- Host a clothes, book, puzzle or plant swap
- Hold a simple on the day raffle with donated prizes
Important information
This opportunity is only available for money raised offline and donated through Young Epilepsy's Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign page.
Donations already made through online fundraising platforms such as JustGiving, Enthuse, Facebook Fundraising or other online giving pages cannot be matched through the campaign.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge runs for one week only, from 1 to 8 December 2026, and matching is subject to the availability of match funding. We encourage you to donate as early as possible.
Small actions. Big impact.
Whether it's £20 from a cake sale, £50 from a quiz night or £100 from a workplace fundraiser, every eligible offline donation could help support even more children and young people living with epilepsy.
If you've already raised funds, or are looking for a quick and easy way to support Young Epilepsy this Christmas, now is the perfect time to get involved.
