We’re aiming to help charities raise £3,000,000 this year – could yours be one of them?

Sunday 14th April saw us launch our latest campaign to support charities raise £3,000,000 in 2024.

The combined pack saves charities over £2000, and could help each one raise a whopping £3,000 – £6,000 or more in funds. So if you are a charity looking for help with fundraising in this difficult economic climate, do get in touch or visit the link below to be one of the first charities to benefit from the new scheme.

A big part of the pack is access to 50 party at home murder mystery kits which help supporters raise money in their own home hosting a murderr mystery with friends.

The MacMillan Charity spearheaded the idea of party at home fundraising back in 2017.  But creating campaigns like theirs is impossible for smaller charities who lack the resources both to pay for the materials and the time and experience to support the  their supporters using the games.  We wanted to help these smaller groups to create the same impact, but on a much smaller scale.  And having been in the murder mystery world for 20 years, you know we are there for individual hosts, answering questions related to murder mysteries which the charities themselves would struggle to field.

Each charity pack is supported by our team, who as well as providing the games, also create template social media posts and include charity logos on the materials to assist fundraising groups with their marketing and party host recruitment.

Everyone had a lot of fun with the MacMillan whodunnit campaign, and we felt the time was right to bring that same idea into a format smaller charities could access.

The charity packs include resources totalling £2000 or more – but are being provided for just £200.

We’ve set ourselves a target of helping 1000 charities this year.  But if the packs prove popular, then we’ll see what we can do to extend the scheme.

Charity packs can be obtained directly from this link:

https://www.red-herring-games.com/product/fundraising-support-pack/

Each pack contains:

50 x murder mystery game vouchers – so you can run small scale fundraising events with your supporters.  Each voucher is worth a minimum of £22.99 (the value of a 6 player game). Meaning the entire pack of vouchers you receive is worth between £1149.50 and £1649.50!

These dinner party game vouchers give your supporters access to one of over 15 different party themes to choose from – and in game sizes ranging from 6-12 players.

Most charities have at least 50 people on their supporters list – so just email your list and recruit your party planners!  (Don’t worry – more vouchers are available on request at a cost of £5 each for those with huge lists and uptake).

How will you raise money with them?

We suggest asking your supporters to aim for a minimum fundraising objective of £60 to join in with the event – netting you a minimum £3000.

All they do is host the party, and ask their guests to put a £5-£10 donation into a special fundraising envelope.  Most guests will donate £10 to a worthy cause, so your hosts can raise from £60-£120 each with their 6-12 player game!

100 x Virtual Escape Game Vouchers – worth £6 each at face value – meaning the value of vouchers you receive from us is worth £600.

How will you raise money with them?

These can be used to reward supporters for donations, raffled, sold, or given to corporate sponsors in return for a donation so they can use them for internal team building.  (We’d suggest asking a corporate sponsor to pay for your fundraising pack if possible).

1 x large group script (Worth £149.99) which you can use to host a large scale fundraising event for 40-120 people.   If you use our scripts regularly – please tell us which scripts you’ve already used so we don’t give you access to one you’ve already played!  Otherwise we’ll give you access to our most popular ones.

How will you raise money with the script?

Large group scripts are a great way to gather large numbers of people in one place for a fundraising event.  Tickets purchased in advance of the night raise the funds for the room hire and catering, as well as creating a donation per person.  On the night itself we suggest raising additional money through a raffle, and sometimes you can encourage further donations by auctioning off clues.
