Preparing or sharing food is always a great reason to get friends, family and colleagues together. It's also a great way to raise money for Maggie's. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Cakes and treats
Put your baking skills to good use and treat your friends whilst raising some money for Maggie’s
• Hold a cake bake – sell your homemade delights to colleagues, neighbours or at your local fete
• Make some jams, chutneys or relishes and set up a stall at your local farmers’ market
• Hold a bake off – invite some friends to take part in some competitive cooking and ask people to donate to sample and vote on their favourite
• Ask people to sponsor you to forego your favourite chocolate, treats or biscuits

Wine and dine
Cook up a feast for Maggie’s. Get together at breakfast, lunch or dinner, have fun and raise money for Maggie’s
• Have a ‘Come Dine With Me’ style dinner party with each person contributing to the prize pot which is then split between Maggie’s and the winner
• Cheese and wine tasting evening - you could get your local stores involved by donating the produce. It would be good PR for them too!
• Ask your local restaurant to hold a fundraising day or evening. Sell tickets, or add a small amount to each bill for a week. Put a special meal on and ask for donations
• Go back to the 70’s and arrange a progressive dinner party with your neighbours, you could include sweepstakes, lucky dips and raffles
