FancyDressShack.co.uk Today Announce Fundraising Ideas For Comic Relief

Online, March 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Comic Relief rolls around on the 15th of March, raising thousands of pounds for charity each year. This money goes on to help those in poorer countries, giving them access to provisions like clean water, schools and basic medicines like paracetamol. People across the UK make an annual effort to raise money for Comic Relief, but coming up with something original isn't easy. This is why today FancyDressshack.co.uk has announced some fundraising ideas to help get everyone involved.

The first fundraising idea FancyDressShack.co.uk recommend is taking sponsorships to spend the entire day in fancy dress. If there's one goal fancy dress can achieve it's making you look silly, and getting into the wacky spirit of comic relief is likely to raise more funds. Children in schools can spend the day dressed as a superhero, while adults can dress up as their favourite forgotten eighties celebrities, or something even more embarrassing.

Second on FancyDressShack.co.uk's fundraising ideas list is holding a themed party for people to dress according to. Superheroes and super villains is a popular example, and to keep the night fresh someone could organise superhero themed games for the two 'teams' to play together, or against each other. By charging for entry to a party like this or creating cash pools for the games, a group of people can raise a huge amount of funds for Comic Relief in a short space of time.

Thirdly, FancyDressShack.co.uk recommends getting involved in any races going on around the same time as Comic Relief. Whatever the distance, from 3K to thirty miles, taking to the running track in fancy dress is an excellent way to raise money and interest. People can run in any costume, whether it's a Mankini or a Gorilla costume, as long as they're having fun and taking donations it's a valuable way to spend a day.

These are simply a few ideas of what people can do to raise money for Comic Relief, but there are many more out there waiting for anyone to have fun with, regardless of the amount they raise.
