Wimbledon

For the first two weeks in July, everyone's talking tennis - its synonymous with the British Summer. 

Why not throw a Wimbledon-themed garden or office party? Serve up strawberries and cream, asking guests to donate £2 per punnet. If they really want to get into the spirit, they could come dressed as their favourite star and ask people to sponsor them to look silly. 

The longer days are an unmissable opportunity to do something BIG for children. Here's how you can use the extra daylight to change children's lives.

Beat your personal best

Take advantage of those endless summer days. Could you beat your personal best for the number of lengths at your local pool? How many steps can you complete in a day? The possibilities are endless.

Garden Cinema

Want something a bit more relaxing? There's nothing better than watching your favourite films under the stars. If you don't have a garden all you need is a projector and a blank wall.

Camp out to make World Refugee Week

Give up your home comforts for a night during World Refugee Week.

Invite your friends and family to pitch up next to you, play garden games and cook dinner over an open fire - then ask them to donate for the experience. The funds you raise for the camp out could help make sure child refugees can learn and be protected. 

We have loads of resources.
