Fundraising
Fundraising efforts from people like you make a world of difference to the lives of families in Edinburgh.
Why fundraise?
Fundraising is a great way to raise funds for Home-Start Edinburgh in fun and innovative ways. Whether you want to fundraise as an individual or a group, we can offer support and advice for all your fundraising needs.
All funds raised will go towards our work with families with young children to help give them the best possible start in life.
Or if you’d rather donate directly, visit our Donations page.
Fundraising ideas
You can fundraise in lots of different ways. We’ve compiled some ideas on this page if you’re looking for inspiration.

Small Event
Fundraising is also a great opportunity to get your friends and neighbours involved in your efforts. Craft stalls, bake sales, and car boots are all brilliant ways to see the pennies rolling in…and the addition of cake is no bad thing!
Large Event
Want to put your events management experience to the test? How about an old school dinner dance or perhaps you fancy a faster burl around the dancefloor and a ceilidh is more up your street! Everyone loves an excuse to get their glad rags on, so why not do it in the name of Home-Start Edinburgh?
Online Event
Who doesn’t love a good quiz? Online and social media led events like quizzes, raffles, and auctions after often where we start to see the big bucks!
Let’s get practical
To get started, feel free to get in touch with us for a brainstorm about how you can fundraise and how we can support you. We can send you resources and donation collection boxes to help get your event looking extra professional!
We can also provide some handy tips including how to use Gift Aid to boost your fundraising, how to link to our JustGiving page and how to leverage the power of social media. Find out more by downloading our Community Fundraising Pack below.
"When we've been able to buy things like a washing machine that's gone into a family home...just the joy it brings them. Often we'll get a text message... they'll just say 'I am so grateful.' "
