# Three ready-made fundraising events for charities - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/04/22/three-ready-made-fundraising-events-for-charities/ - Published: 2015-04-22T11:34:56+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake **Creating and implementing a fundraising event is hard work, so it’s good to see some organisations offering ready-made opportunities. Here are three from this week.** ## 1. The Great Big Small Charity Week Quiz 2015 The FSI, organisers of Small Charity Week, are once again offering small charities the [Great Big Small Charity Week Quiz 2015](http://smallcharityweek.com/fundraising-day/#runfundraisers). All you need to run an event or to invite your supporters to run one is available to download for free. Register it on the Small Charity Week website and your event could benefit from some publicity. ## 2. Marathon Walk Windsor ![Windsor Castle and the River Thames - photo: Kevin Day on Shutterstock.com](https:// www.fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/windsor-river-thames-shutterstock- kevin-day.jpg) Windsor Castle and the River Thames – photo: [Kevin Day](http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-154501p1.html?cr=00&pl=edit-00) on [Shutterstock.com](http://www.shutterstock.com/editorial?cr=00&pl=edit-00) Originally developed for the Consortium for Street Children, the [Marathon Walk Windsor](http://www.justwalk.co.uk/) is open to all registered charities in UK to participate in and to raise funds for their own charity. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

Get started at post-hub.co.uk.⌉](https://fundraising.co.uk/ads/posthub-20261007-300x250/) Taking place on 21 June, it consists of a 42km walk from Windsor to Little Marlow along the River Thames and back after a stop for lunch. All refreshments en route are included in the registration fee. There are also 21km and 10km alternative routes. There are 2,500 walker places available. ## 3. The Small Charity Week Sitting-Down Decathlon If a pub quiz is just a bit too energetic for you and your supporters, then the FSI have a more sedate alternative, [The Small Charity Week Sitting-Down Decathlon](http://smallcharityweek.com/fundraising-day/#runfundraisers). It is a fundraising team-based competition of little challenges that can mostly be done sitting down! Again, all the details on how to put on an event to benefit your charity can be downloaded for free.   _Main image: [green grass comfy chair](http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-153013451/stock-photo-chair-of-the-grass-on-a-white-background.html) by Modest777 on Shutterstock.com_ * **[Chance for small charities to show impact on Big Screens](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/05/27/chance-for-small-charities-to-show-impact-on-big-screens/)**( 27 May 2015) * **[Mumsnet’s Giving Week raises £52k for five causes](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/06/17/mumsnets-giving-week-raises-52k-for-five-causes/)**( 17 June 2015) * **[Entries for Guardian Charity Awards 2015 close next week](https://fundraising.co.uk/2015/07/30/entries-for-guardian-charity-awards-2015-close-next-week/)**( 30 July 2015)
