Question

Hi

next summer, me and my friends will have just finished high school.

we are taking part in a 3 weeks expedition that summer to Ghana to do conservation work and helping in schools and stuff.

we are expected to raise a large sum of the money ourselves and was wondering if anyone had any

fundraising ideas?

sponsorship ideas?

things we can do as a large group of 15-30?

things we can do as a group of maybe 5?

all ideas and personal experiences welcomed :)

Answer 1

If you are physically fit, you could do a sponsored walk/cycle ride.  I was planning to do a ride around England (1425 miles) but all the people going on my trip were too lazy!  It would take about 2 or 3 weeks.  Things take time, usually too much of it.  

Bag packing at your local supermarket, preferably Waitrose (the shoppers tend to be more generous) is a good way to raise money, about £800 has been raised in one day.
