BHF reveals nation’s favourite fundraising habits
Melanie May | 23 September 2016 | News
Two thirds of people questioned in a survey by the British Heart Foundation say giving to charity is important to them with even more saying that they would arrange a fundraising event for a good cause.
The charity found that 83% of those questioned would arrange a fundraising event, with coffee mornings the most popular choice (22%) followed by quizzes (15%) and cake sales (15%). Most people prefer to invite family members to a fundraiser (46%), while 27% prefer to fundraise in the workplace.
The charity questioned 2000 people about their fundraising habits to encourage more people to hold events to raise money for its work, and is offering a free fundraising pack.
Jacqulyn Bell, Raise Funds Your Way manager at the BHF, said:
“We never cease to be amazed by the ways people come together to raise money for the BHF. Whether a coffee morning, a fashion show or sitting in a bath of baked beans, it helps fund research that makes a huge difference to the 7 million people living with heart and circulatory disease in the UK.”
