• Send a letter with every Christmas card telling people about your challenge and asking for their support. Set up an online sponsor form so they can sponsor you wherever they are.
• Ask a local school to hold a fancy dress or non-uniform day with pupils donating £1 to take part.
• Carol singing – local shopping centres or stations are great places to sing carols, but remember to ask permission.
• Ask for sponsorship rather than Christmas presents. It will be worth it once you’re on your challenge!
• ‘Piggy back’ events. i.e. ask your local school/church if you can have a stall or do a raffle at their Christmas Fayre.
• Instead of sending Christmas cards at work, ask all your colleagues to make a donation to RNIB instead. Put a big poster on the wall for people to write their greetings.
  Not only will you raise funds but you are also being environmentally friendly by not wasting all those Christmas cards that get thrown away in January!
• Make use of the office Christmas party. Hold a raffle or charge an entrance fee, hold a quiz or a ‘skills’ auction – who knows what secret talents your colleagues have!
• Organise a collection at your local shopping centre or supermarket – in fancy dress of course!
• Pack bags at your local supermarket in return for donations. There will be lots of Christmas shoppers to ask.
• Have a dinner or drinks party and ask guests to bring a donation to RNIB (or simply charge them to come).
