Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
Dear Katie,
I heard that you were planning on going to Malaysia next summer and needed some fundraising ideas. I had to fundraise for our school trip to New Zealand last year, so I thought you would like some advice.
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
Firstly, you need to make a plan of action. Calculate how much money you will need for absolutely everything – and then add some more, just to be safe! There are lots of ways to plan this out: money tracking apps, Excel spreadsheets, or using a notebook. I used a spreadsheet, which was fantastic because I could set it to add everything up automatically.
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
After you have a budget in place, plan a list of possible fundraising events – the more unusual ones will get you the most money. For my trip, my favourite fundraisers were a sponsored dance-a-thon and shaving my head; both of these helped me to raise huge amounts towards my holiday. If you don’t want a cold head, you could try a sponsored silence, a non-uniform day, or a cake sale. You should ask your head of year for guidance on the rules around these events; they were fantastic when I needed help.
