Last nights fundraising group meeting proved to be a great success. With nibbles, wine and a great talk from John Cropper about what Oxfam is currently doing about gender inequality the meeting was big hit.
We all got to know each other a bit, spoke about possible fundraising ideas and talked about some cash collections that are coming up from next week.
Cash collections are a really useful way to raise money as the collectors have a great time outside (certainly preferable to my desk) and people donate their spare change into buckets. Another thing is you don’t have to do it all day; it can be a couple of hours here, or a lunch hour there. It’s totally flexible.
As community fundraising is a totally new dimension to the Oxfam way of fundraising it’s so exciting being a part of it, at it’s beginning. If anyone else want to get involved just get in touch by giving me an e-mail on [email protected].
The collections are on the:
Thursday 22nd April at Kings Cross Station
Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th April at Camden Morrison’s
All are welcome, so get in touch!
Be aware, be moved, be involved. Be Humankind.
