TIME TO PARTY!

  • Organize a party and sell entrance tickets, food and drinks.

  • Ask your city or a sport club if there's a place you could use for free.

  • Organize a BBQ or lunch.

  • Organize a board games night, a poker tournament... with prizes for the winners (donated by local businesses).

  • You know a (local) band ? Ask them to play a concert.

  • Organize a wine tasting event (with fair trade wines from Oxfam, of course).

  • Organize an Oxfam breakfast. Your local Oxfam shop can help you.

Be creative

  • MAKE your money: get your hands busy by making things whilst you’re at home. Knit some scarves or hats, sew some reusable shopping bags, screen print some t-shirts, create hand-painted greeting cards, artwork, cross-stitch, clay mugs – then sell your hand-crafted goods to family, friends, online or at local markets when you can.

  • Read-a-thon: you can do this alone or encourage others to get involved with you. You can either commit to reading a certain number of books by a certain date and have people sponsor you. Or ask people to commit to a certain $ amount for every book you read, then notify your networks as you make your way through them all. Are you in a book club? Get them on board with donating their time and efforts to your cause too!

  • Shave your beard or head: do you or someone you know have a big, bushy beard or head of hair? Why not shave it off for a good cause? Get people sponsoring you, then hold a virtual event where they can watch the shave live.

  • Video Games Competition: If you have friends who love to play video games, why not make a competition of it. Make sure you have a prize for the winner.

  • Virtual classes: can you cook? Sing? Dance? Teach yoga? Teach recorder? Why not host a virtual class in something that you know you can do well using Skype or Zoom. Invite your networks to attend for a specified $ amount and share the love.

  • Walk around your home: did you hear about the man in China who ran a marathon around his apartment? You could take a leaf out of his book and commit to walking the full length of your challenge around your own home too. Remember to log your activity on your dashboard!
