Inflatable Fundraising Events for your
School or Charity
Host an inflatable fundraising event with no payment upfront to us. You provide the venue. We bring the inflatables. Then we share the profits. Perfect for your school or charity.
⭐️ Is fundraising taking over your life and stopping you enjoying time with your friends and family, and even causing friction?
⭐️ Are you fed up of spending all your free time planning and running fundraising events?
⭐️ Do you really want to help, but feel there must be an easier way of raising the money needed for new facilities or equipment?
“We used Hardy Soft Play Hire for the CancerCare Fun Day at Barrow Raiders and they were punctual, polite and very professional - will definitely use again and would recommend to anyone for a brilliant service”. J Davenport
Why should we hold one?
Our fundraising events are perfect when you need to raise money and only have the budget to pay for printing tickets. Hardy Soft Play will bring an inflatable play zone to your venue with a selection of our fantastic bouncy castles, inflatable slides and giant games for your attendees to use.
These events will help you if;
⭐️ You need to fundraise
⭐️ Are short of volunteers
⭐️ Need something exciting to attract attendees
⭐️ Want to raise awareness of a cause
⭐️ Don't want any upfront costs
And the added bonus? Children will have an amazing time!
How will Hardy Soft Play Hire help?
⭐️ We give you the means to raise £100’s profit with little work from yourselves
⭐️ We will run the event leaving you free to enjoy it
⭐️ We bring a variety of fun play items that children aged 1-12 yrs enjoy
How does it work?
Our inflatable fun sessions are great for primary schools and charities across South Cumbria, the Lake District, North Lancashire and even parts of North Yorkshire. We cover all the areas on the map below.
Hardy Soft Play Hire will come and safely set up a range of large inflatables at your school or venue which will be open for 2 hours after school. The quantity of units we bring depends on space, helpers, staff, power, and approximate attendance figures. We will include a selection of our most popular large bouncy castles.
Our team of trained staff will set up all of the units according the HSE guidelines and then stay to supervise the equipment.
We will supply you with any images you need to promote the event.
Fill in the contact form to find out what dates are available.
How much could we make?
This depends on the number of wristbands that you manage to sell, but we give the school or charity back 10% per 100 wristbands sold.
E.g. If the school sells 200 wristbands at £10 each the school will then keep 20% of the takings from the wristbands sold, up to a maximum of 30%.
Plus, your school can generate more money from selling additional items such as ice cream, drinks and snacks. You could even offer a BBQ, a bar for the parents, side stalls or a grand raffle.
"A massive thank you from myself, FOWS and all the kids and staff. The kids had the absolute best time this afternoon. Your staff and equipment were tremendous. Thank you very much". Warton C of E Primary School
What would the PTA or charity need to do?
There are a few of things you would need to do.
⭐️ Provide Hardy Soft Play Hire with information on the area that will be used for the inflatable fun session prior to the event, and ensure that there is access to an adequate electricity supply within 40m
⭐️ Advertise the event throughout your school or community and sell at least 150 wristbands priced at £10 each (or more if you wish)
⭐️ Provide at least 3 members of staff/ volunteers to stay and help run the sessions
Are there any conditions?
Yes just a couple.
⭐️ This offer is only available on Monday -Thursday. This can be in term time or during the school holidays, subject to availability
⭐️ The items need to be set up on grass which can be accessed by a large van, or inside a hall. We will need 2 hours to set everything up and 2 hours to pack away
What happens if the weather is bad?
If there is heavy rain or gusts of wind forecast over 24mph then it is not safe to set up the items outside. In this situation we will contact you 24 hours in advance and either move the event indoors (if you have space) or postpone it to another day. When we book in your inflatable fun session we will agree on a 'second try' date in case of bad weather.
"Very well organised loads of space to safely play and great friendly staff who were great with all the kids. Can't wait to take the kids to the next one". L. Parkin
