Creep on fundraising with our family friendly Halloween ideas.


We have put together out top ten fundraising ideas that you can try with your frankenfriends, family or little ghouls.

  • Halloween party - charge people an entry fee or run classic Halloween games like bobbing for apples during the event and ask for a donation to take part.

  • Pumpkin carving competition - charge a fee to enter with a % being given to the winner or secure a prize for the winner with the help of one of our fundraising authorisation letters.

  • Screen your favorite scary films with your family and friends and ask for a donation

  • Organise a quiz night dedicated to terrifying trivia

  • Halloween themed cake sale - Get creative and make all your cakes Halloween themed

  • Spooky Halloween costume party or day in the office- secure a prize for the winner

  • Take part in your own sponsored walk. Decide on your distance and dress up as your favourite spooky character

  • Organise a murder mystery night. This could include a formal sit down meal or get dressed up as your favourite Cluedo character and have a games night with friends. Your guests could earn extra clues in return for donations

  • Guess how many treats are in a jar. You can find lots of Halloween themed sweets around this time of year. Put them into a jar of your choice and ask for a donation per guess. The winner gets to keep the jar

  • Add a donate now QR code to your trick-and-treat bucket and ask for a donation instead of sweets on Halloween night.
