Local events

The best kind of event is where people have fun! You could host your own World Tea Party, movie night or knitting party using our knitted animal patterns. Perhaps you have a special skill you could offer to entertain your guests, such as playing an instrument or singing. Why not have a look for a local car boot sale, or at community centres and churches for sales that you could have your own stall at, selling bric-a-brac or cakes? For more ideas about organising your own event, have a look at our fundraising guide – the possibilities are endless and every penny raised will help working animals in the world’s most impoverished communities.

Get sponsored

One of the most effective ways to support SPANA’s work is to complete a sponsored event – where the sky really is the limit! You may be inspired to do a sponsored parachute jump or arrange a sponsored walk, run or cycle; the options are endless! This process can be even easier if you setup your own sponsorship webpage, which you can do by visiting JustGiving. Alternatively, there is a sponsorship form you can download here.

Collection box

Hosting a collection box is an enjoyable and pain-free way of raising funds for our vital work. Why not ask at your local vet, pub, corner shop or pet shop and see if they are able to host a collection box? All we ask is for you to regularly check on it, bank the money to yourself and then send us in the donation.

Local groups

If fundraising on your own seems a bit daunting, how about getting together with friends, family or work colleagues to form a fundraising group? It’s a great way to meet like-minded people, help working animals and have fun too!
