I used your DIY bingo game with the names of residents who play bingo, along with both first and last names of staff. My residents love it! They’re learning everyone’s names and enjoy it so much when their name is called. I love Golden Carers.

Hey everyone,
We need to raise some money for our christmas decorations for this xmas... any ideas would e welcome
thank you
Hi Ashleigh, you will do very well because you have the whole year ahead of you! There are various ways to raise money in a facility: Jumbo Sale, Cake Run, High Tea (with paid guests), Sausage Sizzle, Trivia Nigh, Second-hand movies, book/CD/Games Sale. One of the best ways is selling tickets for an attractive raffle for Mothers’ Day/ Father’s Day. Place a request on your Newsletter for suitable donations from staff and residents’ relatives. Divide donations into two or three prizes, wrap them creatively and display in a prominent place. The first thing you should do is finding out what are the management policies regarding the above ideas. All the best!
I run "Lucky Square" at our Retirement Village.
A 3 paper size with 30 squares so "staff, residents, family & visitors" can place name & contact in each square.
I give 2 x $20.00 prizes to winners & I bank $20.00. (Notify on whiteboard) of winners.)
Place sign explaining game, closed money box with attached pen & secure paper to small table. (Place n Foyer of facility)
I draw 2 x winners every week.
Here are some more fundraising ideas...

We have sausage sizzles at one of the local Hardware stores Sausages, bread, onion donated
You could reach out to local home care agencies for a donation of ornaments. I recently reached out to our local agencies for an activity box roughly costing $50/per box. This helped save me tons of money.
