Fruity Friday is an annual campaign by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK). It’s easy to take part and make a difference – simply wear something yellow and make a donation of £2 to support WCRF UK's vital cancer prevention research and education programmes.

Three simple steps to Go Bananas

1. Promote your event
Write your community group name, the date and donation amount (we suggest £2) on the campaign poster and display it to let everyone know about your dress down day.

Download our essential fundraising pack and other exclusive online resources to help you plan your day.

Make sure to register your event with us so we know what banana-tastic things you have planned.

2. Find something yellow to wear
Order yellow items from the shop to help you all Go Bananas.

3. Go Bananas it’s Fruity Friday
Wear yellow and have fun. Collect everyone’s £2 donation using our collection box template and ask them to complete a sponsorship form as WCRF UK can claim back the tax on every sponsorship donation and receive an extra 56p on top of every £2 donated at no extra cost to you!

Here are some other ideas for the day:

Fancy dress party

Hold a fancy dress party at your community hall. Invite friends, family and the local community to join in, dress up in the most ridiculous yellow or fruit-themed costume they can find, and make a donation to support WCRF UK. How bananas you go is up to you!

Fruity Friday fête

Have fun making healthy treats and cakes containing fruit, like raisin scones and banana and date muffins. Then you can sell these to members of your local community group on behalf of WCRF UK. Why not organise a Fruity Friday fete and sell them alongside some delicious smoothies too? Visit WCRF UK's recipe section for more ideas and inspiration.

Host a quiz, asking people to make a donation to WCRF UK to take part. Think of how you can incorporate fruit or fruit-related topics into the questions or answers. You could also make these tasty fruit kebabs to sell during the break!
