**If you are short of ideas to raise money for your group or charity, this book 
should give you inspiration. It is aimed at people wanting to raise money in their
local community, and is designed to help volunteers and first-timers in fundraising
market. **

It not only gives a wealth of inspirational ideas, but also equips readers with 
the practical and legal knowledge to run the fundraising events for maximum success.

The book is in three parts:

**Part 1 **– choosing your event (including 100 ideas that work);

**Part 2 **– planning;

**Part 3** – on the day and afterwards.

There are also appendices with useful publications and contact addresses.

This book is primarily for non-professional fundraisers, such as PTAs, old people’s
clubs, village hall committees, local sports clubs or amateur theatres – and those
volunteers who fundraise locally for hospices and national charities.

This text is updated and extended to incorporate “Organising Local Events” (published
by Directory of Social Change in 1995 – ISBN 1873860889). This edition now forms
part of the DSC/CAF “How to” series.[](https://fundraising.co.uk/books/tried-and-tested-ideas-for-local-fundraising-events/void(0))
