Answer 1

Bikini car wash.

Answer 2

Try contacting your local free newspapers and maybe the paid for local newspapers as they like to have feel good local news stories such as that and they could get you some publicity - and that would make it easier for you to try to approach people you don't know well to request sponsorship as it looks more genuine.

You could try to give sponsorship forms to friends/colleagues to see if they may get sponsors from friends/family like schools do (but make sure you make it clear you don't mind whether they get any sponsors or not - or you will become unpopular!)

Also explain the purpose of why you want to raise the money on your justgiving account.

Also you have given wrong address above as the dots make the weblink not recognised.

Good luck!

Answer 3

how about used newspapers collection? u create a team to collect these old newspapers around your area and tell the people that the money collected from these newspapers will go straight to charity

Answer 4

ask if you could help or do door to door knocking. You can ask for a carity tin.

or buy cheap chocolates (like i did)

and sell them for 50cents more then they are.
