When I had to raise money for a charity
I set up a sports day in my local park with a BBQ and a raffle and charged people a few pounds to come along. I went around to local companies/shops asking if they had anything they'd like to donate and also asked if they'd like to buy advertising space in a booklet I was giving out on the day.
I made over £900 doing that.

It's also worth writing to any businesses in your area asking if they'd like to contribute. A lot of places have a certain amount of money they give to deserving causes each year.

Hope that's a bit of help.
