FUNDRAISING IDEAS
Taking part in a fundraising event for Wen, is a great way to make a difference and will help more women and other marginalised people to have a voice in climate debates.
An event could be anything from a sponsored cycle ride, a coffee morning with friends, or even running a workshop.
A simple way to begin is to set up a fundraiser on Facebook or Instagram or you can set up your own fundraising page on JustGiving
You can easily set up a fundraising page on Facebook, for a special event such as your birthday, anniversaries or even a challenge you are doing. Instagram also has “donate” stickers that you can include in your stories. Read on to for more fundraising ideas:

Antonia raised over 500 Euros for Wen with a sponsored head shave. She also shared information on Wen’s work and how it relates to cancer prevention. Antonia focused on cancer prevention to honour a friend who has been battling cancer, and to celebrate the end of her treatment! 
NEED SOME IDEAS?
- How about getting your work colleagues involved? Hold a dress down day – Whether you go for casual clothing or make it a fancy dress event – ask people to donate.
- Donate Your coffee money – people can spend a lot each month on their favourite caffeine fix. Ask people to forego their daily coffee just for one day and donate the money to Wen.
- Cycle to work – and donate the money saved on fuel or travel fares to Wen.
- Quiz – host a quiz and charge a donation for each team entry.
- Set yourself a challenge – walk, cycle or run – Make sure you record the miles you’ve run or cycled on one of the many free tracking apps available on your phone
- Sell unwanted Items on eBay or through Facebook Marketplace. Donate the money to Wen.
- Host a coffee morning or dinner for friends and ask for donations.
- Host a workshop – If you’re an expert at something and can teach other people, host an online or in person workshop. You can sell tickets and get sign-ups on Eventbrite.
Please get in touch with us if you have a fundraising idea. We can send you postcards and stickers and will of course promote it on our social media channels.
Thank you for supporting Wen!
