UPDATED APRIL 2025
Fundraising is a bit tricky, getting people to believe that they are not being conned or even getting them to shelve out their own hard worked money is challenging.
My goal of £800 is looking very unreachable at the moment, I have raised just under £200 so far in the past 3 weeks. It is a lot of money but it is only 20% of my goal.
This week I received a phone call from my fundraising overseer, this call shattered all my hope of raising my fundraising goal as she mentioned that my deadline for fundraising is 10th of June. 10th OF JUNE 2013. I am going to be 100% honest I am hopeless. I need some sort of miracle to raise the remaining £600.
I have rang a variety of possible donors asking for help, this ranges from car dealerships, to local superstores ASDA etc and none of them gave me good news. I was either too late to apply for bag packing, I was rejected because I was not deemed a 'local charity' etc. I am a bit flabbergasted but hey it would not be worth it if it was not challenging.
Hopefully I will find the will to go on as today has drained the life out of me. I have accepted this challenge with an open mind so the next 26 days are going to be interesting.
