Share your homemade Christmas sweets with friends, family and colleagues in exchange for a donation to your favourite charity.

Create your own festive Christmas wreaths and sell them for more than it costs to make them.

One person’s junk is another person’s treasure. Ask loved ones and friends to donate unwanted items from home that you can use as prizes for a raffle. Alternatively donate these items to our Christmas Festival which is being held on Saturday 2 December.

Spread the Christmas joy beyond your circle of friends and co-workers by setting a £5 supplement per person – use £4 for the present and donate the additional £1 to charity.

Whether it’s at work, a Christmas party or a pub crawl – charge £1 for each person who wears a Christmas jumper and £2 as a forfeit for those who do not follow the dress code.

Ask your employer if they’ll hold your Christmas party in aid of St Christopher’s. We can supply balloons, posters and collection tins.

Take on 12 challenges for the 12 days of Christmas or double the challenge and get your friends and family to sponsor you to give up something over advent.

Grab your antlers this December and hold your very own Reindeer Run – you could do this in the office, make an assault course or even do a relay to reach Lapland!

Have a non-email day at work. Everyone pays a fee to take part and pays a fine if they break the rules.
