  • Just thought of another fun quiz I did several years ago. Cryptic clues to chocolate bars. Not saying it was a long time ago but Marathons were still marathons!
    example: Public Transport = Double Decker

  • How about borrowing some toasters, and buying bread and butter and jam. They can sell toast at break times for 10p or 20p ish.

    My boyfriend did this to raise money for a gap year and raised £300 in a term.

  • Just wondered how they were getting on with their fund-raising....

    My daughter and her classmates have been given £2 each by their school and have to increase it by as much as possible (she's in the sixth form and it's to raise money for charity). She has joined together with two other girls so they have £6 to play with. The money has to be raised within school, ie from the 1100 girl pupils and teachers. They are not allowed to give sweets as prizes.
    Projects already tried by other groups include: guess the teacher from their baby photo; bake sale; treasure hunt; sponsored hair dyeing/braiding.
    Anyone done anything like this before and can give us some ideas? :confused: She has until half-term to complete the project.

    Thanks folks

    ive got about half a dozen o2 sim cards that have just been sent to me, if you pm me i can send them to you and she can auction them off as prizes, theyre the 300 + free texts ones pay as you go.
