Ideas:
- Sweepstakes – Strictly Come Dancing, British Bake Off, Women’s Rugby World Cup
- Donations instead of birthday presents/cards
- Guess the number grid – example here: Gifts and Temptations Bonus Ball Fundraising Card Scratch Cards, A4 Size, Lottery Game for Parties, Fayres, Pubs, Events : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

I cannot recommend running for Naomi House enough, super supportive and helpful throughout marathon training, the fundraising team were amazing and added really personal touches to the experience. I've made lifelong friends amongst staff and others running for the charity. A superb and extremely worthy cause as well.
