It’s a time to connect with friends, family, and neighbours, all while supporting vital services for people with disabilities. Whether you’re planning a street party, a backyard barbecue, or a casual get-together, The Big Lunch is a wonderful opportunity to build community and make a difference for Shaftesbury’s 180th anniversary.
Shaftesbury has been providing essential services to people with disabilities for nearly two centuries, and this milestone is a perfect reason to celebrate. By hosting or attending a Big Lunch, you can help raise funds for Shaftesbury and support their mission to create a more inclusive society.
Here are a few ideas on how to turn your Big Lunch into a successful fundraiser:
- Bake Sale: Organize a bake sale with homemade cakes, cookies, and pastries. Ask your neighbours to contribute their favourite recipes and sell the treats to raise money for Shaftesbury.
- Raffle: Host a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses or friends. This is a fun way to engage guests and boost your fundraising efforts.
- Craft Fair: Invite local artisans to showcase and sell their crafts, with a portion of the proceeds going to Shaftesbury. This is a great way to involve your community and support local talent.
- Sponsored Activities: Organise fun activities like a charity run, a dance-off, or a karaoke contest, where participants can raise sponsorships for Shaftesbury.
- Donations Jar: Keep it simple by setting up a donations jar or box at your event, allowing guests to contribute whatever they can.
By participating in The Big Lunch, you’re not just having a good time; you’re making a tangible difference in the lives of people with disabilities. The funds raised will help Shaftesbury continue providing critical support services, adaptive equipment, and inclusive programs.
Let’s make this anniversary unforgettable, with delicious food, great company, and the joy of giving back. Thank you for helping Shaftesbury continue their incredible work.
