Weddings

 

"Over the years a number of supporters have asked for money to be donated to us in place of wedding or engagement presents. What a great wedding list... 20 tonnes of lake sand, 30 bags of cement, 3000 bricks!"

 
 
 
 

Sponsored Events

 

"By far one of the most popular ways of raising money for us. Our supporters have been sponsored for everything from bungee jumps to climbing mountains...We now have a sponsor form you can download here."

 
 
 
 

Parties

 

"Definitely the most popular choice amongst our student supporters. Any excuse for a party!"

 
 
 
 

Sales, Raffles, Auctions

 

"A popular way to raise funds is to hold sales and raffles. Why not auction off your friends in return for donations or sell cakes at a summer fair?"

 
 
 
 

Christmas Fun

 

"Another popular way of donating to us. Instead of your usual Christmas presents, money is donated to build a pit latrine or help to refurbish a classroom... so much more rewarding than a fluffy jumper you will never wear!"

 
 
 
 

Births

 

"Many supporters have asked for money to be donated to us in place of presents for their new borns. What a fabulous start in the world - supporting a charity before you are even a week old!"
