Get creative and make a difference!

Fundraising for Lifeline Northern Beaches can be as unique as you are. Whether you're into fitness, cooking, or getting crafty, there are endless ways to raise funds and support our life-saving services.

The Sky’s the Limit! Whatever you choose, your unique fundraising idea can make a huge difference to those in crisis. Every dollar raised helps fund our 24/7 crisis support services and suicide prevention programs. With a little creativity, you can bring your community together and support mental health in a way that’s meaningful and fun.

Ideas to get you started and spark your imagination:

• Get Moving: Sign up for a fun run, walk, or bike ride, and get your friends and family to sponsor you for every kilometer.
• Host a Bunnings BBQ or Bake Sale: Fire up the grill or whip up some tasty treats—everyone loves a good sausage sizzle or cake sale!
• Take on a Personal Challenge: Whether it’s hiking a mountain, shaving your head, or giving up coffee, ask your network to sponsor your commitment to a personal goal.
• Trivia Night: Test everyone’s knowledge with a fun-filled trivia night—charge entry fees and offer prizes to the winning team!
• Dress-Up Day: Get silly with a themed dress-up day at school or work—ask for donations from everyone who joins in the fun.
• Dinner and Auction: Organize a charity dinner and auction off donated items or experiences to raise funds for a worthy cause.
• Lend a Helping Hand: Offer to wash cars, mow lawns, or do odd jobs for your neighbors in exchange for donations.
• Movie Marathon: Host a movie marathon, and charge a small fee for a day of cinema, popcorn, and good company.
• Seasonal or Themed Fair: Organize a fair with seasonal or themed activities, from holiday markets to summer festivals—invite local businesses to join in and donate part of the proceeds!
