A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Abstinence
If you're giving up something such as alcohol, coffee, chocolate or cigarettes, whether to give up completely or to simply exercise some self-control, why not get your family and friends to sponsor you per day or week of abstention?

Beard shaving
Tired of the way you look? Why not get your family and friends to sponsor you to get your beard or moustache shaved off. If you're really bored of your look, you could even get rid of your hair!

Car boot sale
Sunday mornings just wouldn't be the same without the good old car boot sale! It's a great way of clearing out all your unwanted items and you could even ask other people to donate to your stall - don't forget to let people know that you're doing it for charity.

Car washing
If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, you could offer to wash your family and friends' cars and charge them per car. If you advertise that it's for charity, other people may also ask you to do theirs.

Desk sale
If you work in an office, why not have a change one lunchtime and turn your desk into a stall? You can sell smaller items such as jewellery and cosmetics, etc, etc to your colleagues.

Dress down day
Popular with children and adults alike and a great way of raising money. Simply pick a day to dress down on and donate a pound for charity.

Keeping silent
Easy for some - a nightmare for others - how long do you think you can remain silent for? Get people to sponsor you for a length of time and see if you can really do it.

Loose change
Fed up with carrying shrapnel around with you in your pocket or purse? Why not collect all your loose change and bring it in with you when you next come to the unit? We won't mind counting it!

Parachute jump
If you're feeling brave and you've always wanted to do a parachute jump or skydive - just visit this part of our website to find out how you can do it.

Swear box
Often a lucrative way to raise funds. Putting a swear box in your workplace and fine sinners when they swear - it's amazing how much money you can make!

Travel to work
Get sponsored to find different ways of getting to work for a week. Depending on how far you live away from work this can include anything from bicycling to walking backwards!

Weight watch
Sadly something most of us need to do at some time in our life. Why not get your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor you for every pound you lose over a certain period? If you're in a slimming club you could encourage the whole group to join in.
