Keeping a roof over the heads of all the furry residents at The Mayhew Animal Home doesn’t come cheap and for any pet owners reading, you are sure to appreciate how food bills mount up and The Mayhew has over 180 hungry mouths to feed at any one time! Fundraising for charity should be all about fun, so if you wish to do something you enjoy and help support The Mayhew on their anniversary, then you could Strive for 125 with some of the suggestions below!

Bake off!

Why not get your apron on and your baking tins out and hold a cake event for cats! (or dogs of course) If you are a cupcake queen or create sponges of splendour, then put your culinary skills to good use and hold a Tea Party for Pets! Baking is a great way to raise us some funds by asking friends to come round for an afternoon of tempting treats and to contribute at the end towards your compassionate cooking for the homeless animals in our care.

If there is one thing kids love to do it’s to make as much mess as possible! So a sticky sponsorship challenge is the perfect way to have fun over a half-term and make a few pence for a good cause to boot!

Sponsor those soap suds!

Children are often the most enthusiastic in raising sponsorship for their favourite cause, so why not encourage your little ones to fill a bucket full of suds and hold a charity car wash? Neighbours are more than likely to drop a couple of pennies in a collection pot if they can put their feet up on a Sunday and watch the younger generation get tough on grease and grime!

Keepie Uppies!

Whether it is keeping up a football, juggling with Indian clubs or seeing how long you and a friend can keep your dog’s favourite tennis ball up in the air, preventing it from touching the floor is the name of the game! If you enjoy your sport then recruit some sponsors to test your skills and catch some cash for The Mayhew when you finally set aside those balls!
