Remember you can hold a Brew Monday event at
any time of the year!
1. Spread the wordOnce you’ve picked a time and place, get an email out, share the date on social media and use the poster in your pack to invite everyone you know.
3. Plan how you’re going to raise moneyWhether you’re having a tea break with work mates, catching up with a few good friends or hosting an all-out tea party, there are lots of ways you can boost your fundraising.
Charge an entry feeIf it’s a small and cosy Brew Monday event perhaps ask each person to make a one-off donation of £5 or £10 and then let them drink and eat as much as they like!
Raff les and tombolasA raffle or tombola can help boost the money you raise. Ask local businesses to contribute prize items. Remember,legally you can’t sell raffle tickets before the event date without a proper license.
Fun and gamesGet creative! How about a ‘Guess the weight of the cake’ or ‘Pin the cherry on the cake’ for a £1 a go?
Spare change (and spare notes!)Proudly display your Brew Monday collection box and ask for donations on the day.
Sell cakes!You have your army of bakers, now use our handy cake labels to write prices on and charge for a slice, or two!
Leftovers as take-awaysIf you’re lucky enough to have lots of sweet treats donated, sell off any leftovers before the end of your event. Why not plan ahead and get some cake boxes in? A friendly local bakery might donate cake boxes if you tell them it’s for Samaritans.

“I called because I was embarrassed and ashamed that I couldn’t handle mywork load and pressures. I didn’t feel confident to tell friends or family. But with Samaritans it was okay, they didn’t judge me, they just listened.”
“Samaritans supported me in my darkest times, especially when my depression affected my work so much so that I ended up losing my job because of it. They got me through and I feel so much more comfortable with talking about everything.”
