St.George's Day - Get Involved

Taking part in the St George's Day celebrations is easy – whether you to choose to spend the day with friends and family, neighbours, colleagues or the local community. You could plan a private celebration or organise an event for the public, which is also a great way to raise money for charity.

Our guide will contain loads of ideas for events and fundraising, but here are just a few to whet your appetite:

Schools can organise a special event on the day, such as a St George's Day lunch, or a sponsored silence

Try something new. Why not ask friends, colleagues and family to sponsor you for an activity you have never tried before?

Get your workmates involved - have a dress-down day at work and raise money for charity at the same time

Encourage your neighbours to hold a party to celebrate the day, charging guests a small sum to attend, which can be donated to charity

Organise an event, such as a disco, quiz night or charity auction. You'll be helping to bring people together on this special day, as well as creating an opportunity to raise money for charity

Rustle up a delicious meal for friends and family

Get creative. Why not hold a fancy dress competition, where guests pay to attend, and award a prize to the most inventive costume?

End the day by joining in the National Toast to England and St George.
