Sign up for a race - maybe a couple of miles, or a half marathon, even a full marathon, or even have an eating contest - and ask people to sponsor your challenge.
Quiz night
Hold a quiz night, charge people £1 per entry and supply a small prize for the winner. Donate the proceeds to charity.

Organize an event (eg. a football tournament), charge each team an entry fee, supply a small prize and donate the proceeds to charity.
Disco nights
Hold a party (maybe fancy dress), charge an entry fee, give the best dressed couple a small prize and donate the proceeds to charity.

Car boot sales
Sell all your unwanted items and donate the proceeds to charity.
House Work
Ask your friends and family to sponsor a shark if you hoover or wash up everyday.
Dress down or up days
Similar to non uniform days but these days can also be used at work.
