Fresh ways to fundraise: Practical ideas for community groups

Fresh Fundraising: Practical ideas for community groups

Fundraising doesn’t have to mean endless events, application forms, or asking the same people again and again.

This interactive session explores fresh and accessible ways to raise money by making the most of digital tools, working with your existing “crowd”, building simple partnerships with local businesses, and unlocking super‑local funding from supermarkets and retailers. Plus hear from CAG Somerset Connector members On Your Bike on the secrets of their £20,000 crowdfunding success! 

We’ll share practical tips and real‑world examples you can adapt straight away – from low‑effort digital tweaks to community‑powered fundraising and hyper‑local grants that often go under the radar. 

You’ll leave with:

• New fundraising ideas you can test immediately
• A better understanding of harnessing your group’s impact to unlock valuable income streams
• The opportunity to follow up with 121 support from the CAG Somerset team to discuss your specific fundraising needs -  available for CAG members only

In the current difficult funding climate we would like to support as many groups as possible so have decided to open this session up to welcome non CAG members as well as CAG Devon and Somerset members.  If you would like to discuss membership or have questions about this event please email
