I did the usual getting sponsership but that was slow going also I had the collection tins from the charity. I decided to hold one big Charity fun day in the village putting all my eggs in one basket so to speak, here are some of the things I did on that fun day. Car Treasure Hunt Balloon Race Face Painting Plant Stall Car Washing by the local fire brigade Promise Auction Raffle Tombola Cake Stall Book Stall Brick a Brac stall Quiz night at the pub finished the day off. Name the teddy Refreshments we raised a total of £2,200 that day it was hard work and very stressful, I wouldnt reccomend doing it in one day again but as lots of small events. We are only a small village of 210 houses so we had to do a lot of publising the event but it worked. If anyone wants any further info on how any of the things were done please get in touch. This year I am fundraising again but I have got 9 months time to reach my target of £3,000 a bit more relaxing but I not sitting on my laurels I have got the ball rolling and intend to keep it rolling with lots of small events.
