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.
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.
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
We need to raise some money for our christmas decorations for this xmas... any ideas would e welcome
