Fundraising ideas for charity and…?


I really want to go on a holiday with my school but the aim is to raise all the money yourself! It is £1,500.
It is too Morrocco and Some of the money goes to helping all the poor families out there which is one of the reasons we are going. The rest is for the flight and activities we do.
Me and my friends are working in a group to earn money, We don't need all of it because our parents are going to pay £500 each and we will use a lot of our pocket money.
Ideas we have so far:
A school sleepover where everyone pays £3 and we would have it in the main hall with movies on the big screen and we will sell them popcorn.
A sale of all our old junk
My hamster is pregnant and we are gonna sell the babies
Dog walking
Babysiting for family friends or relatives.

This might sound quite a lot but it's never going to get us all that money.
Any other ideas?
We are year 8 children and 13 years old.

Thank you =]

Hi,

Sounds like a great trip! I think working as a group is great. People love to support students on your type of trip. I have an idea for a fundraiser, but because you are a bit young It is a great item to sell to all the moms.

How about a lip gloss fund raiser! Have fun raising funds!

I have used this before to help a friend of mine raise money for her local Autism Group.

I am an Arbonne Consultant and I get a 35% discount on the products I purchase to sell. Arbonne has these 6 great lip glosses that cost $10.00 US Retail. I also include Arbonne Lip Saver (SPF Chapstick). Price at $8.00 US. This makes the fund raiser fun and simple. Just 7 products and each sold earns $3 for the fundraising cause. I also work into the program rewards for each of the sellers if they reach certain sales goals.

Where do you live? Arbonne can be sold out of the US , Canada, UK, and Australia. So this should work for any of these locations or if you live another place, I just need to look at the shipping cost of the products.

If my conversion is correct you would earn 2 British Pounds for each sale. These lip glosses are fun and easy to get one lady to buy 2 colors or to buy one lip gloss and the lip saver. They really do sell!

Anyway it is very fun and really can create a nice amount of money for cause.

Take care,
Karen

    Hi,

    I am in the same year as you and we are currently going mad on fund raising! Here are some ideas that we come up with:

    After-school car wash
    (Your school's) Got Talent
    Fete with sweet stalls etc.
    Sponge the Teacher (great fun!)
    Pictures with friends (pay for the copies)
    Non-uniform
    Movie Lunchtime
    Theme Day
    Doughnut sale (extremely popular!)
    Sponsored activity

    I hope that this helps,
    Hope you go to Morroco!
