Hold a Strike Hunger Party
Celebrate the importance of food, and join our delicious campaign to tackle the World Food Crisis. By putting on a dinner and charging your guests a small donation to attend, you can help Oxfam to get help to the people who need it most.
Getting started
- Set the date (anytime between now and January)
- Invite your friends and family to come (ask for £10 donation each)
- Source lovely Fairtrade ingredients
- Create a slap-up feast
- Sit down with your friends and family for a good chat around the dinner table, have a great time and help to tackle the world food crisis too.
- Pay in your money here, call 0300 200 1244 or post us your total add in a note telling us what you’ve done!
- Why not make it a regular event – with someone else hosting next time!
Charging a few of your friends a tenner or so for dinner could help Oxfam make a real difference. You could even charge them an extra fiver to get out of the washing up!
Fundraise online
E-fundraising
sites are great ways to spread the word about your fundraising, and ensure that
donations reach us without you having to do the leg work of chasing your sponsors.
They also allow you to reach friends and family further afield, and keep your sponsors up to date with how your preparations are going.
Oxfam’s preferred e-fundraising site is Virgin Money Giving based on the low costs and the great support they’re offering.
Oxfam can still receive donations from other sites such as JustGiving but to ensure that more of your fundraising reaches the people that need it most, we recommend that you use Virgin Money Giving to promote your fundraising.
Make your party look the part
The ‘world change starts here’ fundraising toolkit has balloons, invitations and stickers – everything you need to make your party look the part. And if you need extras, just give us a call.
Other ways to raise money
Anyone can do something to tackle the food crisis. It doesn’t matter what you do, big or small, you will help families affected by the crisis.
Other ideas:
- Turn your Christmas party into a fundraiser
- Sell cakes at work
- Have a winter picnic
- Be a washing-up fairy for a week
- Get sponsored to do anything (please be safe!)
Tell us about it!
Your fundraising efforts are hugely inspiring to other people – here in the UK and around the world – who are also doing their bit to end world poverty. So don’t be shy. Please tell us about your event and send us your best shots of the action. You might find yourself and your friends starring in Oxfam’s supporter magazines or on the Oxfam website.
Email your story with pics to events@oxfam.org.uk or send us a letter. You can also use this email address if you have any enquiries.
We look forward to hearing from you!
