Put a spring in your step this April by joining us in some spring-themed fundraising activities!

Whether it's hosting a spring garden party, organising a sponsored springtime walk, or holding a bake sale featuring seasonal treats, there are plenty of fun and creative ways to raise funds while embracing the spirit of the season. Here are a few more fundraising ideas you could take inspiration from:

1. Spring Garden Party: Host a garden party with live music, BBQ, and outdoor games. Charge an entry fee or sell tickets to raise funds.

2. Spring Clean Sale: Encourage people to declutter their homes and donate items for a spring-themed yard sale. All proceeds go to York Mind.

3. Easter Egg Hunt: Organise an Easter egg hunt in a local park or community centre. Participants can pay a fee to join, and you can also sell snacks and drinks during the event.

4. Plant Sale: Partner with a local nursery or garden center to organise a plant sale. Offer a variety of spring flowers, herbs, and vegetables for people to purchase.

5. Spring Walkathon: Organise a sponsored walk or run through scenic routes in your area. Participants can collect pledges or donate a registration fee to participate.

6. Spring-themed Bake Sale: Bake and sell spring-themed treats such as flower-shaped cookies, carrot cake cupcakes, and lemonade. You could set up a booth at local events or outside grocery stores.

7. Picnic in the Park: Host a picnic fundraiser in a local park. Sell tickets that include picnic baskets filled with sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.

8. Spring Fashion Show: Organise a spring fashion show. Sell tickets to attend the event and offer opportunities for businesses to sponsor the show.

9. Outdoor Movie Night: Set up an outdoor (or indoor!) movie screening. Charge admission and sell popcorn, snacks, and drinks during the movie.

10. Spring-themed Art Auction: Invite local artists to donate spring-themed artwork for an auction.
