Dear all,
An obvious one, but it really worked for me this morning! I made homemade chocolate brownies and sold them at the office for 50p each. Instead of just leaving them somewhere with a sign and sending an email, I walked around with them, and people attacked them (and most gave me more than 50p as a donation). My total cost was about £6 and I've made a net profit of about £18-25 for my charity. Next time I might wrap them individually and put a little tag on with my fundraising page in case anyone wants to donate as well.
Would definitely recommend it.
Happy fundraising,
Joanna

This is a great idea, so i also gave it a try. The office i work in has two kitchens - one upstais and one downstair, so for the past three weeks, i have put a tin of muffins / brownies / caramel shortbread in each kitchen with a big sign asking for donations in return for a treat.
In the three weeks i have made over £22 this way which should put me on target to raise about £150 this way between now and Feb '08.
The interesting thing is seeing who is greedier (and more generous) - the upstairs workers or downstairs!! Currently upstairs are winning hands down!
That is such a great idea! Did you walk around town with them? Or your local area? I'm definitely going to give it a go!! Thanks for sharing!
I've just started fundraising for the Project Trust, which is a charity dedicated to sending 17-19 yr olds to under developed countries to bring aid and education. And i'm one of the volunteers heading to India where i'll be working with disadvataged 'street kids'.
