Fundraising
An important aspect of the UK office support is to advise volunteers how to
raise money for their project. You will all have the opportunity to attend one
of our fund raising awareness days in Somerset and will be provided with a pack
full of ideas about fund raising activities.
"To my complete amazement and gratitude to wonderfully
generous people all the hard work paid off and the Auction, raffle and small
profit from each ticket sale raised a few pounds over £3000!! at the
Supper evening on Friday - how fantastic is that. Thank you for your positive
encouragement and for having Peter to give such a good fundraising awareness day
as I heeded his words about location, as good as one can get, and about getting a
professional auctioneer in, Peter Lewis was great and new quite a few of the
farmers and other friends as lived locally."
