Initiative: Charity Fundraising

Posted on by themajorblogger

I was planning a Tombola for Save the Children, but had no prizes.

I needed to gather prizes for the Tombola in my own time, around my education.

I asked Save the Children’s Manager in my lunch break on how to go about getting the prizes I required for the Tombola. Save the Children’s shop Manager handwrote several letters, confirming that I was collecting donations as prizes for a Tombola. When she had completed those handwritten letters, I started visiting companies who I thought would donate products for me to gather prizes before going back to college for my education.

It took a few attempts to get enough prizes for the Tombola, but I managed to collect several donations for prizes for the Tombola, including £50 worth of Lush soaps.
