Hi,

can anyone give me some pointers please?

I have set up a "swap for charity" where I started with something of low value and swap each item for something worth a bit more. The idea is that I end up with something worth a good bit and then sell that item for the charity.

I have successfully managed 5 swaps but am now a bit stuck. What I am asking is how/.where best can I "advertise" this swap to get most people involved. The latest item is a tour of TV studios during live transmission and meeting the stars. I was thinking this may be of interest to media/TV production students (among others) but don't know how to let them know.

(cant put full details cos it may be seen as "advertising) but I'd appreciate any help in getting the swap moving again by helping me "advertise" in the right places!

thanks:T

    You're at the wrong time of year really as term has ended, however I'd see if you can email something via depts of local colleges?
