Fundraising Events
- A fundraising Quiz Night was held on 23 September at Ellingham Church Hall near Ringwood in Hampshire.
£10 entry fee included a freshly cooked delicious fish and chip supper which was served in the interval from
Marlins mobile fish and chip van ( tel 01425 471826) which set up in the car park. The owners kindly reduced
the price because the event was for charity. Quizmaster Chris made sure that the questions kept coming at the right pace and Carol and Mike Wood
kept their heads down doing the marking. The raffle table did well too. Fifty people took part and everyone appeared to be having a good time.
A net total of £364.50 was raised for the Trust .
- In 2009 two sponsors climbed Mt Kilimanjaro. With Gift Aid the total amount raised came to almost £1,500.
- The Art & Craft Fair raised
the fantastic sum of £800. This was largely
due to the generosity of artists and craftspeople
who donated pictures, stained glass and other items
for sale. The timing was also crucial - just right
for buying Christmas presents.
- One sponsor raises funds for LET by donating her
speaker's fees.
- Another sponsor asked her employers to donate to
LET instead of sending Christmas cards. This raised
£400 for the Trust.
- Sponsors and Trustees have organised Tea and Garden
Parties. The 2007 Garden Party raised £912.
- Two supporters completed the Tough Guy challenge, raising several hundred pounds.
- Sponsors have raised awareness among their family,
friends and colleagues. Result: several individuals
deciding to make a one-off or regular donation.
- If they are retired, or have limited funds, you
can suggest that people donate to LET instead of giving
you Christmas or birthday presents.
- Make a donation in kind. Or, you can make a promise
which can be auctioned. You may have resources or
expertise which others are willing to pay for. Examples
might be a tutorial, guided walk, cooking dinner.
- Organise a "snowball" party: have a tea
party of coffee morning. Invite five friends who will
pay at least £2 and agree to then invite at
least two friends for a similar party who hold their
own party, and so on.
