Fundraising Idea - Friendship Bracelets



Now that I have handed in my deposit for my expedition to Borneo it's time to start fundraising! I've been reading other people's blogs and one thing I can do is make and sell friendship bracelets. Believe it or not I actually did this last year to make money for myself. I would take orders from my friends and bring them in the next day or so in a little brown envelope. (I think my teachers thought I was drug-dealing in the corridors! Ooops!) Over the month I managed to bank up myself £80 which was quite good for someone like me!

So, I have took full advantage of my bracelet making skills and taken it up again. Eventually, when I have a enough I will sell them to friends, family and on stalls at craft fares, summer fetes and boot sales. If anyone would like to know how to make bracelets like these to sell towards your expedition, please leave a comment and I will enlighten you!

Let The Fundraising COMMENCE!

Today was the day I handed in my deposit for my expedition to Borneo in 2015.(Eeeeeeeeek!)I have just over 12 months to raise my target of £3,960 (the complete cost of the journey). It will be A LOT of hard work but with lots of blood, sweat and tears, anything is possible! 

Last week, I kicked off my fundraising by setting up a little tuck shop at my brother's football games. Each week they're out on fields with no food facilities and some players, including their parents, have to travel a fair way to play. On my stall I sold sweets, chocolate, teas and coffees ranging from 25p to 50p and ranked myself £50 to go straight into my funds for the expedition.




Keep posted to see some more ideas and feel free to comment your own!
