Christmas Baubles
In the fundraising booklet an idea suggested was letting people decorate Christmas baubles. I carried this out in school in the last week in the run up towards Christmas and it turned out well!
I would advise future volunteers to try this out, especially as a first fundraiser.
Steps to carry this out;
1) Where to hold it - (school or a youth club is probably the best option) then get permission from an authority figure. For me this was the teacher in charge of charities.
2) Estimate how many baubles you will need - I sold 250-300 for 50p each.
3) When you are holding it - Christmas (obv) - I held it over 3 lunchtimes in school.
4) Who you are aiming for - The school - but I found junior pupils more enthusiastic than seniors.
5) Price - I guess it depends on the baubles and decorations. I thought 50p was best because it was cheap so more people were likely to buy than if they were a pound.
6) Other stuff - asides from baubles, you need something to write on them with. I used Pilot gold/silver/white fine tip markers, but approx 1/2 of these were broken by the end and some silly children splodged the ink everywhere (including over tables/faces...)
I also supplied stickers that could be used for extra decoration purposes and ribbons to tie onto the baubles.
Your not going to raise a fortune from this, because of the costs of buying baubles/pens/stickers/ribbon. I bought the pens and stickers myself and didn't bother about taking the money back, and my mum did the same for the ribbon. Though we did reimburse the biggest cost of buying the baubles.
I have a few pictures I will upload (if I get round to it)
HAPPY NEW YEAR
