1 Devon Air Ambulance Trust Fundraising Pack Ideas and support for holding your own event Supporting Devon Air Ambulance Trust Registered Charity No: Company No: Spring 2014

2 Thank you for choosing to raise funds for Devon Air Ambulance Trust You ll find lots of ideas throughout this pack plus hints and tips to make the most of your event. We hope you ll find lots of inspiration and perhaps combine some ideas, throw in some of your own and don t be afraid to create your own truly unique event. Your support ensures that we can continue to provide an air ambulance service throughout Devon. Whether you live in Devon, are on holiday or business, or simply passing through, it s reassuring to know that, should you have the misfortune to be taken ill or have an accident, one of the county s two Air Ambulances will be at hand. Thank you again for helping to make a real difference, we simply couldn t do it without you! Contents How your event will make a difference Where to start Fundraising ideas In your community At work At school Special interest groups Promoting your event Maximising your income Safety and legal information Don t forget to tell us about your event and send in photos. We love to see all the amazing things that people do to raise money for us and would love to share via our Facebook page too!. Please fundraising@daat.org 1

3 How will your event make a difference? We have long been supporters of the Devon Air Ambulance Trust, especially since Alfie was airlifted. We never dreamed we would need them again but when our Olivia became ill, I can t tell you how grateful we are. To think that her illness was caused by the same virus as a coldsore; her symptoms appeared the same as meningitis and it certainly scared the living daylights out of me thank you for the most wonderful, wonderful service. Danielle Steer - mum of patient Olivia and aunt of patient Alfie It costs in the region of 4.5 million each year to keep both helicopters flying From our two airbases our 2 Air Ambulances can reach the majority of Devon within just 10 minutes, and the remainder within 15 minutes The Charity is independent of Government and National Lottery funding 2

4 Where to start Theme/activity Choose your type of event. Planning Ensure there is enough time before the event to achieve everything. Don t be afraid to ask for help. Safety Find out if any rules or regulations apply and if you need to do a risk assessment (see page 13) Venue Find the ideal place to suit the activity Fundraising Find as many ways as you can to make money around your event (see page 12) Sponsor/donation See if you can get a venue, facilities or prizes donated. Date If there isn t a particular occasion choose the ideal date and time for people to attend. Make sure there s nothing happening already that might clash. Guests Consider who your event is suited to, who to invite and if you have a maximum or minimum number. Budget Know your budget. Set a realistic income target making sure your costs are covered. Promotion Use every channel available to let people know about your event and reach the right people (see page 10) If everyone in Devon over the age of 18 donated just 3.65 a year (1p a day) it would pay for the service for a whole year. 3
