Fundraising
Bishopstoke Sea Scouts is a registered charity, run by a team of dedicated volunteers (no one in the team is paid). We rely on fundraising, grants and donations, along with our members subscriptions, to keep the Group running and ensure Scouting in Bishopstoke is affordable for all.
How you can help
Over the course of a year we run a number of fundraising events, from quizzes to activity days. All members are always invited and involved in these events and families are welcome and encouraged to join in too.
If you work for a company who sponsors youth projects, have skills to offer, have fundraising ideas or can help out with events or grant submissions please get in touch with us.
EasyFundraising – raise money while you shop
We have teamed up with EasyFundraising, which gives us a donation every time you buy something online from a huge range of stores. It’s free to sign up and really simple to use. Once you’ve signed up every time you buy online, take a look on the Easy Fundraising site to see if your favourite shop is listed. If you buy, they donate a small percentage of the value back to us – but you still pay the same price in the shop!
This brings us in donations from hundreds of the most popular websites – raising over £2,000 so far! Sign up and shop at www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/13theastleighseascouts/ Over 4,000 shops and sites will donate, including all the big names like eBay, John Lewis & Partners, Argos, ASOS, Expedia, M&S, Just Eat, Uswitch and many more! You can even install a simple reminder on your favourite browser that tells you when the site you’re on will give us a donation. This is really easy to do and takes only a couple of minutes to set up, plus it raises a significant amount for the group.
