Spring clean and make some green

There's no time like the present for a spring clean – and what a great way to transform your old stuff into cash!

You can auction off your old items on eBay and donate direct to us.

Alternatively, the wonderful people at Virgin Money Giving have teamed up with World of Books to make turning books, CDs. DVDs and games into donations a no-brainer! Declutter and donate using the Ziffit app and choose Terrence Higgins Trust at the check-out.

Start your own LGBTQ+ book or film club

Create a weekly book or movie club with your friends, family or colleagues!

You can ask each member for title suggestions, or take inspiration from Penguin Random House’s Ultimate LGBTQ+ Pride Book List or Gay Times' 40 Best LGBTQ+  Shows on Netflix.

Choose the day and time for your weekly virtual meet-ups on your favourite platform and each donate the cost of a glass of wine or bag of popcorn to take part.

Musical bingo

Host your own game of musical bingo – taking the bingo hall straight to your friends and families living rooms!

Create a playlist of songs and input into these free* editable Bingo Cards. You can ask your group to donate to take part, and then they can be sent their unique bingo card.

From here all you need to do is put your playlist on shuffle, and await a winner. You could also set a fancy dress theme for added fun!
