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    Report

But then back it comes again x keep it up Sharon    Report

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!    Report

But since I am still at school, I'll have to ask permisson to host a bake sale there. We have a "Charity team" or something similar and I'm sure they'll help, but it's a bit embarrasing because I don't know who will help me out. And I don't know were to sell them around our neighbourhood. I guess I'll have to think of something. It's a really nice charity you are donating to Nicola. Well, thanks for the baking idea!
