We’re in the midst of a huge squeeze on household incomes, so we’re pretty sure that charity event furniture hire won’t be on many people’s radars. Energy prices seem to be out of control, as does the price of fuel on the forecourts. Go into your local supermarket, and you’ll find that the price of food has gone up – after all, inflation is running at 9%. Is there any end in sight? Not at the moment…
It is, therefore, a worrying time for millions of people up and down the country as they look to cut back on non-essentials, to simply pay for the essentials.
It’s also a worrying time for UK charities, many of which rely on donations and fundraising events by the UK public. Here in the UK, we’re known for being generous towards charities – to give you an idea, people gave £11.3 billion to charity in the UK in 2020, up from £10.6 billion in 2019, and 62% of people in the UK gave to charity via donation or sponsorship in 2020. That’s not to say, however, that these impressive statistics will continue to grow.
Fundraising and charity events, always take on increasing importance in times of austerity. There’s nothing to say that a fundraising event has to be held in a prestigious venue, or have lavish decoration, catering or other expensive elements associated with it. Ultimately, every penny counts.
Hiring equipment for fundraising and charity events, therefore, is a great way to save money, as you can furnish a blank canvas (often cheaper) event space and dress it how you want. Call on local businesses to support your event with auction prizes and/or sponsorship, for instance, and enlist the help of any local celebrities to support and publicise your event.
