Auction – Ask people to donate unwanted items or auction a skill that someone could learn. You could also auction restaurant meals or home-made luxury hampers. Try auctioning a 'service' too – cutting a neighbour's grass or baking a celebratory cake. Once you have your list you can host a virtual or live auction.

Afternoon Tea - Who doesn't like an afternoon cuppa and a good chat? Whether you meet online by video call, outside in your garden or in your home, there's nothing better than getting together with friends and family for tea and a slice of cake. Bake your own cakes or try a themed afternoon tea party – Mad Hatter's Tea Party anyone?

In Memory - A wonderful way to remember a loved one is to donate to a charity close to their heart.

Lessons - Do you have a special skill or hobby? Perhaps you're a star baker or nifty with a needle and thread?
