There are endless ways in which your society, sports club or other student group can fundraise to help make a positive impact in the community! Your group can do almost anything to raise money for charity and as all fundraising within the SU must go through our fundraising accounts, we can provide anything you need to do it successfully, whether you need volunteers, publicity, card readers, or just a helping hand in running an event.
Where to Start?
First you must make sure that you have completed the mandatory online fundraising training on Moodle and read the Fundraising Toolkit - this will tell you all the support the SU can give you and any guidelines you must follow.
Next, contact su-fundraising@bath.ac.uk and fill out an Event Planner if you're fundraising for a charity. This will inform the SU of your fundraising plans so that we can support you as much as we can.
The SU have an online fundraising platform where you can easily create fundraising pages and collect donations - this is similar to Just Giving or Go Fund Me but without tax, so 100% of the funds you raise will go to your charity!
If you are doing an ongoing fundraiser, or multiple people are fundraising for the same charity, then email su-fundraising@bath.ac.uk to set up a campaign.
To create your own fundraising page, use one of the following links:
For sports clubs, create a fundraising page here.
For student groups (e.g. societies, arts groups, volunteering groups), create a fundraising page here.
Things to Remember
The most important thing to remember when fundraising for any charity is that you must use the finance codes correctly to ensure that ALL money (expenses and donations) goes through the fundraising accounts - if not you could be at risk of breaching charity law! The finance code is:
- Sport Groups: RRE - 3FU - 56025
- Societies: RRE - 3FU - 56025
- Volunteer Groups: RRE - 3FU - 56025
If there is anything you are unsure about, contact su-fundraising@bath.ac.uk who will be able to help you with all your fundraising ideas.
Inspiring Fundraising Stories
Pancake Day In Front of the Library
Emily’s Story
Vegetarian Society Chef & Social Media Secretary
17 February 2026
We used our crepe makers to run a stall for Pancake Day outside the library. All of the crepes were vegan (fun fact: you kind of don't need eggs for pancake mix at all) and then we also had NGCI batter for people with gluten intolerances and allergies. All of the food we offer is always vegan, but this academic year we've also always had NGCI options since we have multiple committee and society members who can't have gluten. We were there 1-3pm and made roughly 70 pancakes and raised £120.50 for FoodCycle charity.
