Hi,
I am embarking on a charity cycle ride to Cuba and I am feeling positive about the training side of things, but am feeling a bit dispondant regarding the fundraising, the problem is finding things to do which I can raise money from the community rather than always from my friends and family! So far I have done a sweepstake, a bonus ball competition, and I am having a pub quiz soon, all of which my friends have participated in! as well as sponsoring me too!! The only event I have carried out that hasn't involved them is a car boot sale, and I am going to ask Tesco if i can stand outside with my collecting box as well,
So if anyone has any ideas for me I will be grateful!

If you would like to see my webpage it is www.justgiving.com/lindawarner.
Many thanks for looking.

    bag packs can be good - rope in some friends, get a supermarket to let you do it, and you'll be fine..
    for more info check out www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk . You'll find me there.

    yes, I realise I may appear cold and heartless a lot of the time.

    Thanks for that, I will get on the case, although of our 2 supermarkets here one of them has the staff pack for you!! would I just have a collection tin there and ask for a donation or charge a certain amount depending on the amount of shopping?
