Ways to Fundraise

Ways to Fundraise

🎂 Bake a Cake

Channel your inner baker and turn your best recipe into real impact. Host a bake sale at work, school, or in your community — charge per slice, per box, or per batch. Simple, delicious, and remarkably effective. Every cake sold is a step closer to equality.

Tips: Set a target, share your fundraising page on social media, and let people know exactly what their money supports.

🍲 Cultural Day — Cook, Share, Give

Celebrate the richness of culture by cooking a special meal from your heritage and inviting friends, family, or colleagues to come and eat. Charge a plate price or invite donations on the door. Cultural Day fundraisers are joyful, community-building events that bring people together around food, and around a shared purpose.

Tips: Make it an event. Decorate, share the story of your dish, and tell your guests about DEA's work while they eat.

🎭 Fancy Dress

Pick a theme, get your crew in costume, and raise money while you laugh. Fancy dress fundraisers work brilliantly at workplaces, schools, parties, and community events. Charge an entry fee, run a best costume competition, or simply collect donations on the day.

Tips: The sillier the theme, the more people get involved. Superheroes, decades, animals, film characters — go all in.

🎂 Birthday Fundraise

Turn your birthday into something bigger than a celebration. Instead of, or alongside gifts, ask your friends and family to donate to DEA in your honour. It is one of the most personal and powerful ways to fundraise, because it tells the people closest to you what you truly care about.

Tips: Set up a fundraising page, personalise it with your story, and share it ahead of your birthday so people have time to give.

🏆 Big Wins Fundraise

Just hit a personal milestone? Completed a challenge, got a promotion, passed an exam, ran your first 5K? Celebrate your big win by sharing the moment, and inviting others to match it with a donation. Big wins fundraisers are infectious because they combine genuine celebration with genuine generosity.

Tips: Share the moment on social media, tag DEA, and tell people why you chose to fundraise for disability equality. Your story is your fundraiser.

Turn Your Car Boot Sale into Impact

Whether you’re clearing out your home, hosting an event, or taking on a personal challenge, every effort makes a real impact. From car boot sales and bake sales to sponsored walks or community events—there are so many ways to get involved.

Tips: Got items you no longer need? Turn them into change by joining a car boot sale and raising funds to support disability inclusion.
