We are so thankful for the support and generosity of our local community who donate food and finances to the Lisburn Foodbank! However, funds are currently running very low, so we would like to invite everyone who supports the Foodbank help us by hosting a fundraiser for us! Ongoing financial support on a regular basis is crucial in keeping the Foodbank centre open and for paying for all the operational costs that go into running the charity.
Please think about how you could raise some money for the Foodbank and check out a few of our ideas below! For a fundraising pack, contact [email protected]
Thank you!
FUNDRAISING IDEAS:
- Host a movie night for friends or family!
How often do you watch movies? All the time! So next time, do it for a good cause! Instead of going to the cinema and paying for a ticket there, why don’t you host a cinema-style movie night in your home? Invite friends, family, and charge them £5 entry for a movie and popcorn – thats a bargain compared to the cinema! What better excuse to Netflix and chill when its going to a good cause in your local community.
2. Afternoon Tea!
Tea, scones and yummy baked goods – who wouldn’t want to come to that? If you host an afternoon tea for us, we will provide you with recipes, tea and jam for the perfect afternoon tea package! You can decide how fancy you make it and charge accordingly, we recommend £8.95 per person. Sign up today!
3. BBQ Season is here!
Having a family BBQ? As soon as the sun comes out, so do the barbies! It’s such a popular thing to do in Spring/Summer, so if you’re planning on doing one, why not ask everyone to donate £5 to the Foodbank? Enjoying a BBQ with good food and good company is such a privilege. Many people living in Lisburn struggle financially to put food in their cupboards let alone on a BBQ – could you help them? Sign up by emailing us.
4. Lisburn Fun Run
On Wednesday 21st June the Lisburn Coco-Cola HBC Half Marathon, 10K road and fun run will be taking place in Lisburn. Starting at Lagan Valley LeisurePlex, you can walk, run or sprint – whatever you want. Registration is £7.50. Choose the Lisburn Foodbank as your charity and get sponsorship from friends, family and work colleagues! A way to get in shape for summer, have some fun and contribute to the needs of your community – register here today.
