Getting the Funds

 

To get to China, Project Trust gave a target sum of £4950. This covers the cost of most of the year, including flights, medical and baggage insurance, training and the support I will recieve whilst in China. Whilst in China, I will recieve a small living expence covering essentials, accomodation and food.

To raise this sum of money, over the past year I have carried out a variety of fundraisers, both big and small - every little counts when you add it all up!

 

Thankyou to everyone who has helped in some way, whether it was through donations, helping with the fundraisers or attending the fundraisers. I couldn't have got there without everyones help.


 

Jamie at Home Party

July 31, 2011
My mum was a Jamie at Home Consultant, the same idea as Virgin V and Avon but with Jamie Oliver Products, and had a heap of un-used products which she didn't want to keep, so she help a Jamie at Home Party for me.

The night was a get-together of my mums friends and neighbours, aiming to have a good night together whilst raising money for a good cause. I helped prepare the nibbles and snacks, get the products set up and answered any questions about my year to come. I marked all the products which my mum no longer wanted at half price to what they should have been, allowing people to get a bargain on something if they wanted it.

During the evening I sold raffle tickets at £1 a strip. The raffle was put together with donations from friends and a few Jamie at home products.

The commisions from the sales, the raffle money and what was sold out of my mums products went towards my Project Trust Funds. On the night, with the help of my mum and her friends, I raised £315, whilst everyone had a good night catching up.
 

Ceilidh

July 31, 2011
The Ceilidh was my main fundraiser, raising more than 1/4 of my funds. It took the most planning and cost to the most to do out of all the fundraisers, but it was definetly my favourite of my fundraisers!

With this fundraiser I had alot of help from my mum and dad to ensure everything that needed to be done was done. We started by getting the village hall and the ceilidh band booked, giving us a date to aim for. I then designed  posters which were put up around my village in the local shops, c...

Trusts

July 31, 2011
All Project Trust volunteers are encouraged to write letters to charitable trusts. Along with the letters I encluded a leaflet which I designed, explaining further about myself and what I will be doing whilst in China.

The first letters back which I recieved were negative replies, but the positive replies will always be the later ones back. I recieved positive replies of my two local Trusts, The Rotary Club and The Round Table, both of which had a member who I knew. Between the two, I received...

Bag Packs

July 31, 2011
Bag packs are simple to organise, they just take a day of standing at tills in your local supermarket with a few of your friends, family and neighbours to help. I have held 3 bad packs, giving a total of over £1000.

The first was at Morrisons. I worked at my local Morrisons store, so my managers already knew about what I am doing. All it took was a quick talk with one of the managers asking if it would be possible to hold a bag pack, and a letter so they had it in writing. Unfortunately they...

Car Boot Sale

June 24, 2011
Car Boot Sales are a perfect way to clear out your cupboards and raise some money. All it takes is a car boot full of things you no longer need or want - books, games, puzzles, toys, clothes, ornaments ... anything! - and a sunday morning at your local boot sales.
