Corporate fundraising ideas

Every penny you raise helps us fight for people in unsuitable and unsafe housing.

Could you be an ethical entrepreneur and fundraise for us?

Your business or employer could offer services in return for donations, and help us fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and communities.

Fundraising ideas

  • pet sit – look after your friends' pets in exchange for a donation

  • pre-loved clothing sale – support Shelter Scotland, grab a bargain, and help save the environment

  • donate your skills – the highest bidder wins your cooking, gardening, or bike fixing skills

  • flower and plant sale – do you also have sunflowers for sale?

  • fun with flatpacks – put up the bookcase for your friends in exchange for donations to Shelter Scotland

  • car boot sale – have a much needed clear out and raise vital funds at the same time

Fundraising tips

Make the most of your corporate and business fundraising ideas. You can:

  • advertise locally and spread the word on social media using #FightForHome

  • sell items at car boot and jumble sales

  • sell on eBay, Etsy, Depop or Facebook Marketplace

  • add a thank you card to everything you sell with information about Shelter Scotland  

  • raise even more money by joining forces with friends and family with other skills
