Fundraising is a great way to help bats and have fun! We have lots of bat-themed ideas on how you can raise some much needed money and support for bats.

Whatever level of involvement you wish to have, you will be making a difference to what we are able to achieve.

If you have any questions about fundraising for bats, please contact Andreia Correia da Costa: andreiacdc@bats.org.uk / 020 7820 7164.

Fundraise from home (and without spending any extra)

Facebook Fundraise

Start your own fundraising page on Facebook and encourage your friends to donate. Many people have started fundraising pages for their birthdays encouraging people to donate to us as a birthday present! An excellent idea! Click here for more information.

Fundraising at work or school

Fundraising ideas

Bat cakes. Organise a bat tea break or even cake sales and ask for donations;

Dress Like a Bat Day. Pay Ā£1 to wear bat-themed clothes ā€“ wings, big ears, if you have no time for preparation then wear something black!

Bat PE class. Plan a PE class to involve agility work. Bats are very agile flying and hunting their prey. Ask for donations for practicing new skills.

Fundraising with friends and family

Bat BBQ. Serve bat wings (chicken wings), flying burgers, guano sausages, bat beer and ask for donations.

Bat walk. Ask people who attend for a donation or get sponsors for every bat counted.
