FUNDRAISING & CHARITY CUSTOM-MADE MASCOTS

We’ve put together some ways in which custom-made mascots can boost the return on investment on your fundraising efforts:

• They’re eye-catching! – Your mascot will draw people’s attention and help encourage them to engage with the mascot and your cause.
• Connect with your audience – From children to those who are young at heart, a mascot can be anyone’s friend. Brand mascots will help your audience engage with your cause in a fun and unforgettable way.
• Give your charity a recognisable face – A brand mascot can help personify your brand and help audiences remember who you are! In the future, simply having your mascot around will help audiences identify your brand from afar.
• Add extra fun at fundraising activities – A mascot helps raise the profile of your cause, particularly during fundraising events. Why not use your mascot to get people dancing, hand out branded collateral, or simply get people talking.

We work with charities such as Barnardo’s, the NSPCC and Children with Leukemia, and help them create memorable character mascots which can then be used for photo opportunities and as part of special challenges.  In these situations, mascots can generate added awareness for your charity through a particular campaign.

If you’re looking for a branded mascot to use in marathons and other endurance-style events, we take special care to ensure that they are specially adapted and will work with you to ensure that the finished mascot costume is best suited to the environment it will be used in. We are able to produce the costume using lighter weight fabrics, and add extra ventilation for comfort and breathability. You might also decide that for this kind of campaign the mascot costume could work better with the wearer’s face exposed.

Below, we’ve included some examples of our charity mascots being used to generate attention for their particular charity.  As well as standing out from the crowd, they’re successful in increasing and raising much-needed funding.

Do you already have a brand icon at the heart of your charity and want to bring it to life as a mascot? We’ve worked with Children in Need to create Pudsey and Help for Heroes to re-create versions of Hero Bear, and we’d love to do the same for you.

As well as being used to help highlight specific campaigns, we find that many charities are investing in mascot costumes to act as ambassadors, able to represent their organisations at community and family events, exhibitions and media events.
