Getting Started

Find an event you’d like to do, and that you think people will sponsor you to do. Let people know why you’re doing it for The Bhopal Medical Appeal; spread the word. The best way to raise funds is to set up a fundraising page. The two most popular ones are JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving.

You can also create flyers and posters to publicise your event. You could write a blog about your fundraising, email your work colleagues, or contact your local paper. Don’t forget to let people know through Social Media as well!

Ideas and Inspiration

Our supporters have come up with some great ways of raising funds over the years. Like Paul “The Bhopal Beardpal” Armfield (pictured right) held a beard shave-off and raised £3500! We are always open to new ideas and encourage people to be as creative and inclusive as they like!

Creative: Hold a bake sale or curry evening. Host a coffee morning with a local community group. Hold a raffle, a sweepstake, or host a quiz.

Informative: Raise awareness about Bhopal throughout your school, university or work place; hold a film screening or hand out flyers.

Active: A very popular way to fundraise. Run, walk, cycle, paddle and swim for the Bhopal Medical Appeal.
