    FUNd Raising Challenge

    I've been given £50 and 6 months to... see how much I can increase my £50....

    When I say I, I actually mean on a bigger scale. The company I work for has been given £50... So we're looking for 'FUN fundraisers'.

    What fund raising events have you done in the past? What could we do?

    I did suggest scattering the initial £50 around a roulette table, but no one was keen!

    You could buy £50 worth of tat off ebay and charity shops and see how far you can swap it up in 6 months, then sell it back on ebay and see what you can get.

    None I wouldn't have thought, why would they?

    These 'fundraising' ideas are been discussed between a team of about 8 people. And we'll run the ones which are likely to raise the most/provide the 'company' with the most 'team building'

    Buying and selling something is usually the way forward.

    I fold for Hexus, do you?

    One and all,
    Having been involved with raising funds for our recent refurbishment at Thame Church I thought I would share with anyone planning to raise funds within a limited area what sort of thing we have found successful.

    Fetes: the biggest winners here financially tend to be the god old raffle! especially where prizes are donated.
    Auction of Promises: this can be a really fun occasion especially with the variety of ideas put forward, though our most recent one we ran through the website Auction of Promises and actually rose twice times as much as the previous three year's local event s put together.
    Boot sales: limited really to admissions, but running some entertainment and a bar is a must if it is to be worthwhile fir fundraising.
