How personalised candle fundraising builds connection and raises more

Looking for a youth group fundraising idea that’s both impactful and personal? A personalised candle fundraiser helps your group stand out while raising serious funds. With your logo or event name on the packaging, supporters feel connected to the cause, and you build visibility for future trips, camps, or community projects. It’s a professional, meaningful way to raise money that works for Guides, Scouts, school trips, and youth charities across the UK.

Why choose a personalised candle fundraiser?

Adding your group’s name, logo, or slogan to candle sleeves or boxes transforms a candle sale into a fundraiser that feels meaningful, not just another product sale.

  • Boosts trust — Supporters see this isn’t just any candle, it’s your group’s fundraiser.

  • Builds recognition — Helps raise awareness for your unit or project in your community.

  • Adds a professional feel — Looks polished and intentional, showing pride in your mission.

  • Strengthens connection — Supporters feel more connected when they know exactly who they’re helping.

Small touch, big impact

You might be surprised how much a simple logo can elevate your fundraiser. Whether you’re raising money for a trip, new gear, or a local cause. A custom candle becomes a reminder of your goal.

How to customise your candle fundraiser packaging

Want to make your candles stand out? Here’s what to keep in mind when submitting your logo:

  • Send in high-resolution PNG or SVG format

  • Keep it simple and clean — avoid cluttered designs.

  • Use a transparent background, if possible

  • Email to: anna.grice@collectivesales.co.uk

What makes personalised fundraising effective?

  • Branded packaging increases perceived value, so supporters are more likely to pay £15–£18 for a candle with a purpose.

  • Personalised fundraisers are easier to talk about in newsletters, social posts, and emails 

  • Supporters feel like they’re contributing to something unique and authentic
