Host Your Own Fundraising Event for SSAFA Plymouth – Big or Small, Every Bit Helps!
Do you love bringing people together? Got a passion for making a difference in your community? Whether you’re planning a coffee morning, a quiz night, or a full-blown charity concert, SSAFA Plymouth invites you to host your own fundraising event – big or small – in support of local veterans and their families.
Why Support SSAFA Plymouth?
SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been supporting servicemen and women, veterans, and their families for over 130 years. Here in Plymouth, we provide practical, emotional, and financial support to those who have given so much in service to our country.
But we can’t do it alone.
Your support helps us reach more people in need, from elderly veterans living alone to young military families facing unexpected challenges.
Your Event, Your Way
There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to fundraising. The beauty of hosting your own event is that it can be as simple or spectacular as you like. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
-
Bake sale or coffee morning with friends and neighbours
-
Sponsored walk, run, or cycle around your local area
-
Quiz night or bingo at your local pub or community centre
-
Craft fair or market stall with handmade goods
-
Themed dinner party or BBQ in your garden
-
Raffle or prize draw with donated gifts
No matter what you choose, every pound you raise will help us continue our life-changing work in the Plymouth area.
We’re Here to Help
You won’t be doing this alone! SSAFA Plymouth can offer guidance, materials, and even help you promote your event. Need collection buckets, posters, or branded items? Just let us know.
We’d also love to share your success on our website and social media – your efforts might inspire others to do the same!
