I recently raised £4500 for a challenge for Macmillan. Our biggest fundraiser was a coffee morning with all my Nans friends. They paid £2 for entry which included unlimited tea/coffee and biscuits. Then there were cakes that we had baked which we sold for 50p or a £1. And a raffle (prizes included a food hamper, bottles of alcohol, and a free meal at local restaurant). This made over £200 in one morning.
We had a collection box in the local pub. And packing bags at a supermarket usually raises a lot but you need permission to do it and a few people. You can even just ask permission to stand with a collection box in the supermarket entrance and you can raise about £300 just from this - especially if you dressed in fancy dress or something.
