Paper Round and Fundraising Groups

Hi, I’m back again. Not a lot to report this time because of exams at school. I got one job off my Dad – stuffing envelopes for his work. He said it was ‘very important’! I still need to be paid for this for an ‘undisclosed fee’ too. So hopefully that will add to my total. I also just started a paper round which gets me up at 6 each morning (I didn’t even know there was a 6 in the morning!) and I get £18 a week roughly. This is good as it means a regular source of money which should make a big contribution over the next year.

Second week back at school after Easter. We had another meeting today with the girl who is helping us from World Challenge. We discussed ideas for fundraising and we’ve split into fundraising groups. We’ve come to the decision to do bag packing at a supermarket before the end of the summer term. We want to get in before any other groups apply! We may well do it again near Christmas which gets me even more money. Today in the meeting we were given our fundraising t-shirts which will show people what we are raising for and also a planner/journal to record our ideas and got everyone’s contact details that are in my group. Our group is meeting again next Tuesday to discuss what’s happening with the bag packing and where we’re going (there are a few supermarkets we are writing to in and around York) and also our group name and when we could meet up in the summer holidays.

Other ideas for raising money include a cake stall (which we are hoping to do next week!!), talent shows (we’ve been talking about this and loads of ideas have come from everyone so it will probably be a hit and we may be able to do it again at a later date!!), non-uniform days (which will be good because together we could get over £1000 which would be well worth it!!) and loads more which would hopefully bring in the cash.

More soon!

Bye

Chris
