Community fundraising
Fundraising in the community
From organising a bake sale or taking part in a community fun run or marathon, there are so many ways you can support Blue Smile – and have fun at the same time!
Our community fundraising also promotes what we are and what we do in the local area. It’s an important part of raising our profile in Cambridgeshire.
Since we were founded in 2010, we’ve supported hundreds of people to fundraise in the local community – maybe you could be our next fundraiser?
We’ve put together a list of ideas to help you choose the right fundraising activity for you, or alternatively, download our fundraising pack:
• Taking part in a local marathon or run
• Organising a sponsored walk
• Walk a mile for Blue Smile
• Steps challenge
• Bake sale
• Quiz night
‘It was a pleasure to raise money for such a worthy cause that sits close to our hearts. Thank you for all of your support blue smile!’

Be a fundraising hero
If you run or are part of a local community group and are exploring supporting a charity to fundraise for, we’d love to hear from you!
We’ve been selected as charities of the year by many community groups and organisations over the years whom we’ve enjoyed working with.
Do get in touch with us about our community fundraising opportunities at fundraising@bluesmile.org.uk.
At Blue Smile we believe in ethical fundraising practices and are registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
They are an independent regulator of charitable fundraising across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Their work ensures public protection, accountability and excellence in fundraising now and into the future.
If you’re looking to fundraise for Blue Smile, we recommend using JustGiving, one of the leading online charity fundraising platforms.
You can set up your own fundraising page, post updates to your supporters keeping them up to date with your challenge and share your page on social media. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up!
Remember to encourage your supporters to select the Gift Aid option when they donate. If they’re a UK based tax payer, for every £1 they donate, we can claim an extra 25p for the government – increasing a donation’s value without any extra cost to the donor.
