Nursery World - Nursery Equipment: Fundraising

For those nurseries in need of extra cash, rattling the tin is a vital source of income. Katy Morton presents a six-step guide to holding a successful fundraiser.

Generous funding for the redevelopment of your outdoor area should be available under the Early Years Capital Grant, but if your ambitious plans are outstripping the funding on offer, then you might want to top up your outdoor budget through a spot of fundraising.

Follow our six-step guide to a successful fundraising campaign.

1. Plan well in advance

Allow enough time to plan and prepare the event and give people as much notice as possible. Get a team together and draw up an action plan - the better the planning, the more money you are likely to raise.

Draw up a checklist of everything that you will need, such as refreshments and equipment, and get parents and children involved to generate more interest.
