Your Event, Your Way
There’s no fixed format, no strict guidelines, and no limitations of location. Whether it’s at home, in the workplace, at university, or within your local community, you have complete control over how your bake sale runs. Choose a time and place that works for your, and shape the event around your audience.
Why It Works
Bake sales are accessible, low-cost and highly engaging. They create an opportunity to:
- Raise vital funds for OpenSight’s services
- Increase awareness of visual impairment support in your community
- Build meaningful connections with friends, colleagues and local networks
How to Get Started
- Pick your setting – office kitchens, community halls, school events, or even your front garden
- Set a date and time that suits your schedule
- Spread the word through social media, posters, and word of mouth (we can help too!)
- Get baking (or sourcing) – homemade or shop-bought, everything contributes
- Collect donations – get in touch with our team to find a way that works best for you
Ongoing Support
You won’t be doing this alone. OpenSight’s fundraising team will support you every step of the way – from initial planning through to event delivery. They can also provide a comprehensive fundraising pack, packed with practical guidance, creative ideas, and additional ways to raise money beyond bake sales, helping you maximise your impact.
Make It Yours
Add your own creative spin. Consider themed bakers, raffles, or competitions to elevate engagement and maximise fundraising potential. The more personal and engaging your event, the greater the impact.
