I was thinking of doing a tombola as a few people have suggested that but what on earth do you use for prizes? last time I did a tombola it was in the days of tins of fruit etc for your prize! :rotfl:

I'm chairman of a local dads group. For the latest round of fundraising we did some very simple things than earnt us over £150 in a morning that was washed out too.

1. A box filled with sand with 100 straws in it. 1 was painted gold on the end (the star prize, a bottle of bubbly), 3 were silver (a box of chocs) and 10 were green (a small prize). Each straw was 50p of 3 for £1.
2. Jam jar suprise. We filled old jars with sweets for children. Each jar cost £1 and 1 lucky jar had £5 in it if you could find it).
3. Tombola. Prizes we used were things that got children to ask their parents. Ben 10 stuff, all stuff from Home & Bargains, toys, small sweets, mugs, flags, clappers, a bottle of wine, etc.
4. By far the biggest earner was our stocks. Our treasurer is a carpenter and made some stocks. Yellow car spunges at ASDA are 33p (cut them in half) and buckets £1 (we used two). It was 5 sponges at me for £1:eek: (wet of course) or 5 at your dad/mum for £1 and you won a sweet or bag of chrisps. The local hospice saw how good this went down so have asked to borrow the stocks.

Hope these ideas help. :A

Oh, we also sold strawberry plants and herb plants too.

Think this is a lesson to us all to check the dates regularly and if we don't think we will use anything in time I know that local charities like homeless shelters would love them. I don't think they can take OOD stuff though. I think its my MSE ways but I hate throwing anything away, I would much rather give it to someone who can use it. I smiled when I saw the post about giving cereals to the birds, mine are eating special K honey and oats at the moment as I had half a box that were going a bit soft.:)

definitely - hate throwing food away. even if it was free in the first place:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
