Help us

So you're thinking of doing something to raise funds for BCHA - thank you so much! Keep scrolling down to see our top ten tips.

1. Contact us
If you're embarking on an event or have some other idea for how you'd like to support us, please get in touch.

We can help by providing you with:

Promotional information about BCHA

Logos and sponsorship forms

Suppling someone to talk about what we do.

Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll do our best to help. Call us on 01202 410500. Send an e-mail. Or write to us at: BCHA, St Swithun's House, 21 Christchurch Road, Bournemouth BH1 3NS.
2. Don’t be afraid to ask, the more people you ask, the more you will raise. Ask friends, family, neighbours, teachers - everyone you know and everyone your family knows.

3. Many companies match fund money raised for charity by their staff.
4. Set yourself a challenge that people will sponsor you for and start your sponsorship form with a generous sponsor as this will set a high standard for the rest. Try to get payment up front to halve the effort.
5. Online fundraising is an easy way to reach people you don’t see everyday and a link to your online page can be sent to your face book contacts. Set this up on Virgin Money Giving and choose BCHA as your chosen charity.
6. Hold an event, ask for donations to attend or charge a fixed sum for attending and hold a raffle to boost your fundraising, eg coffee morning, afternoon tea, dinner party, BBQ, quiz night etc.
7. Have a clear out and sell unwanted items on e-bay or at a car boot sale. Ask friends and family if they have items that you could sell.
8. Organise a dress down day or a fancy dress day at work or school.
9. Ask friends and family if they will donate in return for you doing odd jobs for them eg ironing or mowing the lawn.
10. The most important thing is to tell everyone what you are doing and why and before you know it you will have reached your target.

Thank you for your support - together we can make a big difference to someone's life!
