From cake sales to long-distance treks, organising your own fundraising event is not only an amazing way to raise money for FCN, but it can also be very rewarding and great fun for you, your friends and your family.
Our head office team are on hand to help you with anything you need for your fundraising event. There are so many things you can do:
Individual / Team
Take on a challenge
Alone or as a team, on foot, on wheels, on water or over mountains. Whatever your efforts, you will be supporting your farming community.
Charity Auction
Get local businesses to donate some amazing prizes and stage a charity auction.
Quiz Night
Get your friends and family involved, find a venue, pick a theme and let the fun begin!
Cake sale / tea party
Show off your kitchen skills or enlist friends and family for an afternoon of treats.
Share your fundraising stories
We are very fortunate that so many people in farming, agriculture and allied industries take the time to support the work of our charity.
From sky dives to mountain climbing, to marathons and all manner of other feats of endurance, we are very grateful for everyone’s support.
We encourage people to share stories and posts about your fundraising efforts on social media – shout loud and proud about the cool, quirky and sociable things you’re doing to raise awareness of FCN and to fly the flag of British agriculture.
Let us know what you’re getting up to by tagging us on our social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and we’ll share your posts.
This post by Olivia Meredith and Caryss Pickavance is a real showcase of how rewarding fundraisers can be – building community, friendship and supporting our wellbeing and physical health.
Thank you to everyone who supports the work of FCN.
