Help, ideas needed for charity coffee morning

144 Posts
Hi,
I'm hosting a coffee morning next week for Macmillan cancer support and trying to find ways of making as much money as possible. There will be around 20 people coming along and I plan to make lots of different cakes etc, but want to do other things which could raise extra money.
I'm going to make extra cakes and biscuits to sell (any ideas on alternatives to buying cake boxes?) and thought about doing a raffle, but apart from that stuck...any ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Do you have any local businesses that you could ask for a donation e.g. - florist, pub, hairdressers etc and you could raffle the items or auction them.
How about 'guess how many xxx in a jar' - could be pennies, buttons, chocolates etc
For packaging cakes, could you not just use cling film or cellophane bags?
Good luck, hope you make lots of money for Macmillan x
Think it might be hard to do.... everyone will have a limit of what they can spend before they come. Other options are to as Hairdressers, Manicurists etc to donate a prize, and do a silent auction for the items. everyone can get something they want, for a good price for the charity. Good luck.

I know this is probably too late to do all this before your event but worth thinking about for next time 😊.
I decided to do the Macmillan coffee morning last week and just asked people to bring a cake and plenty of money & I bought a small prize (new, from charity shop) to give to best bake 😋
