Jumble sales

Top tips for a jumble sale

• Gather your goods: Make sure you gather as many items as you can for the day. If you need to top up what you’ve got, you can see if local businesses can donate a few things to sell or reach out to your friends and family for any extra bits and pieces
• Pick a venue or go digital: For an in-person event, you’ll need somewhere big enough to host different stalls, as well as space to wander around them. Halls, local schools and community centres are good places to try, just make sure you read our legal tips first. You could also go digital and sell your items on eBay, Depop or Facebook Marketplace and donate the proceeds to Breast Cancer Now
• Get your donations in: You can use collection tins on the day and set up an online JustGiving page. This allows people who can’t attend your sale or don’t have cash to donate, hear your story, and find out how the event went. You can also display a QR code on any posters to make it even easier for guests to donate
• Get your family and friends involved: You’ll need help setting up and running the event as well as counting the money after. See if your friends and family can help out
• Order your materials: From branded banners to balloons, posters and bunting, we’ve got everything you need to make your event look the part. Just get in touch with us at community@breastcancernow.org or on 0207 025 2425 to let us know what you need
