Dress Up – organise a fancy dress day
Dig out your best costume and raise money for blind veterans
How do I take part? 🤔
Plan a fancy dress day at your workplace or school and recruit as many people as possible to take part.
Pick a fancy dress theme (see our suggestions below), choose a date and get the word out to your colleagues and friends. See our tips on how to promote your activity to maximise donations.
Ask participants for a set donation or whatever they wish to give. You could also plan some other activities on the day to raise extra cash like a bake sale or a sweepstake.
How much does it cost? 💷
Nothing. All we ask is that you raise as much as you can for Blind Veterans UK.
