Here we go...

Brainstorming. 

We sat down today and discussed what we wanted to do and how we were going to do it. 
Lisa has already made a start raising money for the National Hospital of Neurology and Neuroscience by selling CD’s with Music Magpie www.musicmagpie.com and selling old books on Green Metropolis www.GreenMetropolis.com.  Along with selling unwanted items on eBay Lisa has already managed to raise a massive £300 in a month!!

As we are so near to Christmas and we don’t have masses of time to organise events we have decided to kick things off with a festive themed lottery bonus ball sweepstake followed with a festive cake sale inspired by one of our recent tweets. Look at http://tulipskitchen.blogspot.com/ for some festive treat inspiration.

We love these reindeer cakes!
The sweepstake is one of the easiest fundraisers that you can do.  All you need is a piece of paper with 49 squares numbered 1 to 49.  Then sell the squares for either £1 or £2.  We are selling ours for £2 with a prize fund of £50 leaving us with a profit of £48 (if we sell all the squares).

Our sweepstake board
When the lottery is drawn on a Saturday night, the person with the winning number wins the pot!  How simple is that?

As for the cake sale this may sound boring but when we held one in the office for the Pakistan Flood relief we managed to raise £84 in just one day.  Hopefully this one will be just as successful!

We will keep you posted with pictures and updates in the coming weeks!

Wish us luck!
