Fundraising

Events

At Magic Breakfast we love holding all kinds of fundraising events from Gala dinners to extra special breakfasts.

Do check back here for upcoming events.

Plan your own fundraiser

Do you have a skill, hobby, challenge or passion that you think could be a good fundraiser? Here are some ideas to get you started. Contact the fundraising team for help and fundraising materials [email protected].

PLEASE NOTE that you may need to adapt these activities if you have to comply with social distancing and lockdown restrictions due to Covid-19. 

Challenge Events

  1. Set yourself a course along the coast and hire some stand up paddle boards (and wetsuits!)
  2. Swim the channel distance in a team relay at your local pool
  3. Host a football tournament and challenge your friends' companies to get teams together
  4. Yogathon - ask your local studio if they will host back-to-back yoga for a day with people donating £20 for the day

Easy wins

  1. Give as your earn – ask at your place of work about their 'give as you earn' scheme or CAF to find out more 
  2. Challenge your team at work to make a small lifestyle change once a week and donate the difference - it could be cycling to work, bringing in lunch or giving up that artisan coffee
  3. Ebay your unwanted items - you know what they say, someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure!
  4. Start doing all your online shopping via Easy Fundraising and Magic Breakfast will receive a gift donation from them 
  5. Organise a silent raffle - ask companies to donate prizes, set up a donation page and the highest bidder for each item wins!

Get together

  1. Host a party - it could be 1920's, bad taste or space themed?! Turn your party into a fundraiser by asking people to donate instead of bringing a bottle
  2. Put on a charity gig or mini festival - most community centres will donate the venue for a fundraiser. Ask your talented friends to perform!
  3. Set up a monthly brunch club with friends - take it in turns to host the brunch and everyone donates what they think it’s worth
  4. Organise a treasure hunt in your town by laying a series of clues before setting people off in teams
  5. Get your local involved and organise a quiz night for the boffins amongst your friends!

 

Raise Funds Through Online Shopping and Searches

Go to smile.amazon on your browser or turn on the 'Smile' function on your app, select Magic Breakfast, and donations will be made automatically every time you purchase 'Smile' eligible products. Or use this Magic Breakfast link

Easy Fundraising also acts as a search engine. Head to Easy Fundraising, and then search for your favourite stores through it.  It will lead you directly to their website, but when you make a purchase, it will donate a percentage of that to your chosen charity. 

Similarly choose Magic Breakfast when you sign up to Give as you Live, search for your favourite stores and select the 'Shop and raise' button and the donations will happen automatically. 

We have also signed up with Savoo through which you can donate money to Magic Breakfast by using their site as a search engine, and by doing (discounted) online shopping. 

Sign up with your email address and start supporting us today. It's completely free!

Use Savoo's search engine instead of Google and they will put a penny in your charity pot for every search you make.

Get the latest deals and voucher codes from over 2,000 retailers like Amazon, Sainsbury's and New Look, and Savoo will donate to your chosen cause (Magic Breakfast) at no extra cost to you.
