3 Bliss fundraising pack 3 Why raise money for Bliss? Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. We are a community of parents, families, volunteers, health professionals and researchers all working together to make sure the sickest and most vulnerable babies in the UK have the best possible start in life. By raising money for Bliss you will be making a real difference to the lives of babies born premature or sick. You will be helping Bliss to: Empower families Evidence shows that babies are more likely to thrive when their families are fully involved in their hospital care. Bliss empowers families with the information and support they need to be involved and make decisions about their baby. Influence policy and practice Babies deserve the highest quality hospital care, however long they live or however long they spend in hospital. Bliss works with doctors and nurses to improve care for babies and campaigns within government and NHS for investment and better standards for babies. Enable life-changing research Research has the power to change the lives of babies born premature or sick and give them the best chance of survival and quality of life. Bliss supports vital neonatal research to make positive changes to the lives of babies now and for generations to come.

4 4 Bliss fundraising pack Your fundraising Bliss relies on donations from fantastic fundraisers like you to fund our vital work for premature and sick babies. So that you can see the impact you are making, here are examples of the ways your fundraising will make a difference. 25 Could provide emotional support to parents through a family group meeting 65 Could support neonatal research, which can be life-changing for babies 150 Helps to keep the Bliss helpline running for one week, providing a lifeline for parents 500 Could provide 250 families with essential information to understand how best to care for their baby in hospital One day I saw a Bliss leaflet and it was like a light had suddenly been switched on and all of a sudden I wasn t alone any more. I went to the Bliss website and read through stories from other parents and found out about the various terms I d heard on the unit. After reading through everything I had the confidence to ask the doctors questions and understand what was really happening. Georgia Melbourne, Mum to Scarlett born at 28 weeks

5 Bliss fundraising pack 5 Bliss personal funds Join the Bliss family by becoming a personal fundholder Setting up a personal fund in the name of your loved one allows you to donate to Bliss in a really special and lasting way. Here s how Any money that you, your friends or family donate to Bliss will be paid into your loved one s fund. The fund acts like a virtual collection bucket which grows over time. The fund doesn t cost anything to set up, plus it stays open for as long as you like and there s no obligation to pay into it each year. You can set up an online page to collect thoughts, pictures and fundraising activity, making it easy to share them with friends and family. Celebrate your child with a Sunshine Fund It s a real cause for celebration when a baby or child thrives after a difficult start. Our Sunshine Funds are a special way to express your joy while making a real difference to the lives of babies born premature or sick. When your child s fund reaches 1,000, we will show our thanks for your support by dedicating a tree in their honour in a woodland near your home. Give in memory with a Precious Star Fund When someone has died, setting up a Precious Star Fund in their name can be a long-lasting way to remember them. It can also be comforting to know that the money you raise in memory of them will help babies born premature or sick. When the fund reaches 5,000, as a way of thanking you and giving you a lasting tribute to your loved one, we will dedicate a star in their name. To find out more Please contact our Fundraising Team on or personalfunds@bliss.org.uk

7 Bliss fundraising pack 7 Organising your own event Here s a check list of things to consider when planning an event for Bliss Activity Think of an event that you would like to organise and that would create a good turnout. Venue When you book your venue, let them know it s for charity, they may give you a discount or donate it for free! Plan Draw yourself a timeline so you know when to do things and if you might need some help along the way. Budget Set a target, making sure your costs are covered. Safety Check with your venue or council for any specific details and if you need to do a risk assessment. Tell Bliss Let us know what you have planned so we can help you make your event a success. Date Check out what else might be happening on your chosen day, so that you don t have a clash. Guests Find out your minimum and maximum capacity, then decide who you want to invite and whether you need to spread your promotion to a wider circle than just your friends and family. Fundraising Think of all the ways you can raise money from your event such as ticket sales, raffles or sweepstakes, for example. See if you can get some prizes donated. Promotion Work out all the ways you can promote your event from posters to social media. Company matching Don t forget to ask your employer if they will donate or match what you raise. Have fun! With good planning you should have just as much fun as your invitees, and it s important you do! After all you ve put in all the hard work. Have a brilliant event!

8 8 Bliss fundraising pack Get active Set yourself a physical challenge. Do you have an ambition to skydive, or would you love to organise a zumbathon and get as many people involved as you can? Whatever your goal, get your friends together and make a real difference. Zap! Zumbathon Swimathon Netball tournament Sky dive Bliss little heroes walk* Spinathon Rachel Mann ran the London Marathon for Bliss in 2016 and raised over 3,000. To reach her target she organised multiple events. 1. Rachel did an eight hour Spinathon in her local shopping centre and charged 10 per bike, which raised 1, Her second event was an eight hour netball match which raised 1, She charged 20 per player and held a raffle. Rachel had 21 donated raffle prizes, the lowest in value was a bottle of champagne! By tweeting and posting on Facebook, everyone involved spread the word about Rachel s fundraising and why she was doing it for Bliss. 3. And finally, Rachel organised a virtual 5k where you paid 10 to run anytime during the month of April. Once people shared the proof (i.e. a screenshot of a tracker) Rachel popped a medal in the post, which proved to be very popular. *Bliss has a special Bliss little heroes fundraising pack. To request yours call the Events Team on or events@bliss.org.uk

9 Bliss fundraising pack 92 Get together Are there already events within your community that are a hit? Or something you really enjoy organising or taking part in? If so, why not and turn it into a fundraiser! Comedy night Community fair Cake sale? Quiz night Craft fair Andy Hammond is a keen golfer so he held a golf day for Bliss. This included breakfast, 18 holes of golf and dinner in the ticket price. He also held an auction and set up a website to promote and recruit sign-ups. Andy raised an amazing 4,500. Marie Bailey holds an annual event called Lily s Ball. Guests enjoy the event so much that many come back every year. Marie has raised a phenomenal 65,000 since she began fundraising in 2008.

10 10 Bliss fundraising pack At work Whether during the day, or after hours, fundraising at work is a great way to raise money. Your company may also match your fundraising or make a donation to boost your total. Morgan McKinley, a global recruitment agency, have supported Bliss for two years and held a number of events throughout the year; including office bake sales, raffles, a boat party, rugby world cup sweepstakes and Halloween bake sales. So far they have raised over 7,000. Other ways your company can get involved Charity of the year Make Bliss your charity of the year and work together to raise money for premature and sick babies. Bliss could also offer your colleagues a range of volunteering opportunities and develop a calendar of fundraising events throughout the year. Sponsorship Sponsoring a Bliss project or event can provide your company with positive brand association to staff, clients, customers and suppliers alike. Gift in kind Corporate support does not have to be financial. You can give invaluable assistance by donating your time, products and services, therefore allowing Bliss to give more funds to supporting premature and sick babies. Cause related marketing Link one or more of your products to Bliss and donate a percentage from your sales to support premature and sick babies. If you want more information about how your company can support Bliss our Corporate Team on corporate@bliss.org.uk or call on

11 11 At school There are plenty of ways your school can support Bliss, whether it is a one-off event or throughout the year. Don t forget to include teachers, pupils, parents and your PTA. Non-uniform day A really simple fundraiser the whole school can get involved with at any age. See below for fundraiser Amy s experience of running this type of event. Donations at a concert or play If your school holds a Christmas or end of year performance you can support Bliss by asking for donations for Bliss in the interval or as the audience leave. Sponsored walk/run Work a run or walk into your sports day or host it as an end of term challenge. Dinner and dance A fantastic event for parents and teachers to get involved with organising. Use the school hall or gym to create a one-off or annual event with a raffle or auction to raise money for Bliss. Amy organised a non-uniform day at school and raised over 800. I really wanted to get my whole school involved in supporting Bliss. All my school friends love coming to school in their own clothes for a day and it is a really easy way to fundraise for a good cause. Everyone donated 1 and the donations soon add up.
