Think about your budget
When it comes to event planning, costs can rise quickly, so in order to make sure you are throwing an event that will make money for your charity, make a budget and stick to it. We have experience creating charity events for all kinds of companies and non-profit organisations, so you can rely on us to work to your budget and help you run the best charity event possible.

Make use of volunteers
There are so many enthusiastic people that are willing to give their time and skills to charity and fundraising events, so make sure you make full use of this.

Make use of sponsors
Companies love to have their name associated with charities, so contact some local businesses and see if they would be interested in a sponsorship package.

Go digital
Printing can be a big part of any events budget, so it will lower your costs dramatically if you look for digital options for the promotion of your event. Social media is a very powerful tool that can be used to promote your event without the costs of physical printing.

Consider your venue options
Venues can make or break an event, so be sure to pick a great one. Luckily, we are here with lots great suggestions of some of our favourite venues.

1. Ambience
   A good ambience is the key to a successful charity event and the happier your guests feel that more generous they will be with their donations. We can help to organise events at all kinds of venues and we can help you to find one that provides the perfect ambience for your event.
2. Services and amenities
   When thinking about the venue, you also need to have a fairly good idea of what your event will look like. Will you need access to catering or staging? We can help you find a venue that matches your exact needs and plan an event around that.
3. Capacity
   This one is quite simple, what is the maximum and the minimum amount of people the venue can venue hold. We have access to a range of venues, both large and small.

When it comes to searching for venues, London and the surrounding areas are home to some of the most sought-after venues that are regularly used by non-profit groups. Here are a few venues that are popular all year-round.

The Earth Halls
The Earth Halls can be best described as magical. The venue’s centrepiece, a giant globe structure, creates a magnificent scene that is sure to draw attention. On top of that, the room’s giant slate walls are adorned with space-themed décor.
The venue also contains a number of space-related artefacts. Guests will truly feel like they’re out of this world as they dine and enjoy dinner in the presence of magnificent architecture and design. The venue is part of The Natural History Museum, so guests can also tour the place in between activities. It’s for this reason that this is also one of the more kid-friendly venues. We would definitely recommend holding a charity event here if children will be part of the event.

Roundhouse
Complete with an auditorium, the Roundhouse is one of our favourite venues as is perfect for hosting gala dinners and charity awards. With state-of-the-art technology, this venue has a very contemporary and new-age feel that is sure to attract a younger demographic.
If you are looking for a venue with optional add-ons, the Roundhouse offers options such as DJ services, the latest PA sound systems and event management services. We would particularly recommend this space if you are looking for event spaces that are great for parties and dancing.

Other venues
These are just two of the many venues available. Others worthy of mention include Syon Park’s Garden Room, the Artillery Garden at The HAC, Aintree Racecourse, and the Royal Liver Building, just to list a few. These prestigious venues will ensure your charity event impresses guests, and raises plenty of money. Look up the Concerto Group for a full listing of venues in and around London.
