Thanks

Hi Catpool,
we are asking staff members to bake cakes and biscuits and sell them to staff and parents, some of the staff is making vegetarian food for staff to buy for their lunch.

wear red and donate for staff and children.

doing henna tatoos.

scratch cards with celebrity names on it. all staff to pay £2 to scratch and the winner gets half the money and the rest for comic relief.

staff to wear red wigs and paint their noses red.

We are having a "Wear it Silly Day"...... anything goes as long as its SILLY. One of our local schools is doing a sponsored Skipping .... Double Dutch skipping ....... they're gonna see how long they can keep it going with children taking it in turns to jump in and out of the ropes and taking it in turns to turn the rope.

Another is doing a RED balloon race........ every child pays whatever you decide is a reasonable amount, write a message requesting donations to the nearest Comic Relief collection and then release them at the specified time , Good publicity opportunies there....... you can ask members of the public to " buy" a balloon.... every one at the school could be involved too.....

I don't envy you looking for sponsors at the moment. Do you have a website that could generate a little revenue or maybe local attractions/visitor areas that would look to partner with you for some fundraiser ideas ?
