Fundraising favourites

Bake sales and coffee mornings

It’s a classic for a reason because who doesn’t love a bit of cake (and for those who actually don’t like cake, mix it up and serve some savoury snacks and treats instead!

Games and quizzes

Put your brain to the test with a trivia night or a bingo marathon. Hosting a gaming event can bring people together for some friendly competition, all while supporting our charity.

Physical challenges

From marathons to mountain climbs, push your limits for a great cause. Whether you’re an experienced athlete or trying something new, there are endless ways to test your endurance and raise funds.

Or maybe do something a little bit different

Fundraising is about turning what you love into something meaningful. From daring challenges like fire walks or barge pulls to selling handmade crafts, the best fundraisers are the ones that reflect your passion.

Sheilagh’s Firewalking Fundraiser

“A fire walk fundraiser felt like the perfect tribute to my mum’s fiery spirit. Walking over 1400°F coals may sound crazy, but it was all about stepping outside my comfort zone. Thinking of my mum gave me the courage to do it—it’s something she’d have loved to try herself.”

Not every fundraiser has to be wild and wacky. Sometimes, it’s the simplest ideas—like a sponsored silence or a dress-up day—that capture people’s hearts. Whatever you choose, your efforts will help us make a real difference for those affected by lung cancer.

“My dad battled lung cancer for ten years before passing in 2020. At my wedding, I honoured him by including Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation pins as meaningful favours for our guests. It was a perfect way to celebrate his life and support the charity close to our hearts.”

“When my friend Mick passed away from lung cancer, our scooter club completed the North Coast 500 challenge in his honour. The journey was emotional, but it was an incredible way to celebrate his life and raise vital funds for everyone affected by lung cancer.”
