RECIPE BOOKRECIPE BOOK
Go Purple for CLAN is our annual fundraising and awareness campaign which is held during our birthday week, from the 22nd – 28th September. Turning 36 this year is a cause for celebration and we invite everyone to help us celebrate the past and present by holding a birthday bake sale, where all money raised will help us secure the future milestones.
Whether with your friends, family or colleague we want you to show off your chouxs, brag about your biscuits, trot out your tarts and celebrate your cakes! No matter your baking abilities, whether your culinary contribution is bought or baked, know that every effort made makes a huge difference! And if you like cake … what easier way to get involved and help support local people affected by cancer in your community.
CLAN currently has 12 wellbeing and support centres and community outreach facilities from which we provide free information, support and sign-posting for anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis. Services are freely offered to all from pre-diagnosis and diagnosis through treatment and beyond. CLAN aims to support people to reduce anxiety, stress and to increase their ability to cope with the side effects of a serious illness. Our Children & Families Service continues to support children, teenagers and families and our CLAN Haven is our home from home bed and breakfast facility that is available to anyone affected by cancer who is attending or accompanying a friend or relative to Aberdeen hospitals.
None of these services would be possible without the help and support from fundraisers like you!
There are many tools that can help you get the most out of your Go Purple for CLAN fundraising activities.

Don't have a printer... no problem! We can send out a postal pack right to your doorstep which will include all of the above and even some extras to get you started:

Based on the experiences of other fundraisers just like you we have come up with some ideas to help maximise your sponsorship and help you reach your fundraising target.
Matched FundingOften, companies will agree to match the funds raised by an employee for a charitable cause. It is always worth asking if your employer would offer this arrangement as it would mean doubling the funds you raise yourself.
Email SignaturesIf your work allows it (best to check first), you could add a section at the bottom of your email signatures detailing your involvement in Go Purple For CLAN. This might catch the eye of people you might not otherwise approach.
Approach the Local PressLocal publications are often looking for human interest pieces within the local community. This can be a great way to get the work out about your fundraising. Make sure when you are speaking to the papers that you get the main points across:
• What you are doing• Why you are doing it – Fundraising for CLAN Cancer Support.• How can people help.
PostersSometimes the traditional ways are very effective too. Pick out some places in the local community or at your work where there are notice boards and see if you can stick up a few posters about what you are doing for GO Purple For CLAN.
Maximise your sponsorshipBased on the experiences of other fundraisers just like you we have come up with some ideas to help you maximise your sponsorship and help you reach your fundraising target.
JustGiving If you haven't already signed up for an online giving platform like JustGiving, it really is worth giving it a go. These sites are one of the easiest ways to generate more sponsorship. It is free to use and very simple to set up. You can share the link to your social media accounts and send it via email which helps you reach many more people than you might see on a day to day basis. It also reduces the hassle for you as your sponsors pay their donation directly on the site and the site then pay CLAN - you don’t have to worry about chasing people for money or getting them to fill out a paper form. If you would like more information on how to set up a JustGiving account please contact us.
Matched Funding Often, companies will agree to match the funds raised by an employee for a charitable cause. It is always worth asking if your employer would offer this arrangement as it would mean doubling the funds you raise yourself.
Email Signatures If your work allows it (best to ask first), you could add a section at the bottom of your email signatures detailing your challenge and, of course, including your Just Giving link! This might catch the eye of people you might not otherwise approach.
What your donation will do
Every single penny you raise goes a long way in helping people who really need it. Here’s how that translates…. £5,000 covers the cost of our wellbeing services in all of our bases for a day.
Services include emotional support and counselling, CFS and complementary therapies; as well as our library and information centre and individual and group activities.
£2,000 pays for the cost of our Aberdeen wellbeing services available at CLAN House.
£1,000 opens the doors of CLAN Haven, our dedicated bed and breakfast facility for 24 hours.
£450 can provide a vital counselling session for 10 people.

It currently costs CLAN £2.6 million per year to provide our free services to those affected by cancer in north-east Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland. In 2018, we supported a total of 2,584 clients which was only possible because of the generosity from organisations and individuals like you. As an independent charity, we rely on your support to continue being able to do everything that we do. Here is what that means to some of our clients:
“On behalf of [our family] who have stayed at CLAN Haven over the last few weeks, I want to express how much it has meant to all of us just having such friendly, caring, compassionate people around us. Having a place like CLAN Haven has made this difficult time so much easier just knowing that special people are looking after us. We honestly can’t thank you enough.”
“CLAN has made it easier for my daughter to understand my illness and has given her the tools
to cope with her feelings. It has made me feel positive and supported - less alone, less crazy! It has
given us opportunities to meet others in a similar situation. It has given positivity in our darkest
moments.”
“CLAN has been an absolute lifeline to me for the last two years since diagnosis. Everyone is very welcoming and unassuming and I've built some great rapport with the volunteers, as have other members of my family.”
Social media is a great way of sharing with your friends and peers about your involvement in Go Purple for CLAN. Even if you are not a social media guru, this could not be easier. Here are some pointers to help you use social media effectively:
Find a BalanceYou don’t want to annoy your friends by posting about your fundraising too frequently. But you have to post regularly for your posts to be noticed and have effect. Try to find a balance of regular posting without making it a constant ask for funds.
Engage PeopleTry writing posts as if they were mini diary entries or training updates and include a short “ask” and your link at the bottom.
Use PhotosNot everyone is a fan of the selfie but photos with your posts will make them more engaging and people will be more likely to stop and read them. If you are not a selfie lover, maybe a photo from when you were out training, or a photo of your new trainers. Try and make sure the picture is different each time you post. If you are feeling brave, why not even try a video….
4pmStatistically the best time to post is at 4pm - apparently. More people are on social media in the evenings so this can be a better time to engage with more people.
Mind your Ps and QsThis might seem extremely obvious but; say “thank you” - a lot. Even when you are asking people to donate. A simple thank you goes a long way in making your cause more attractive.
Why are you doing it?Make sure that you keep relating back to the cause. Use content from CLAN’s website to illustrate why you are fundraising and help people understand why CLAN needs their help.
