X Hi we have just got all parents signed permission to take a leavers photograph, we have sold these photos to parents, laminated (extra money) or just photos that we have printed, this made us a few pounds to spend on equipmant that we think the children will like Lynne
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 We're holding a sponsored bounce. No outlay for us, just produced the sponsor forms. Children just have fun bouncing on the trampoline and we give them a sticker to say how many bounces they did. Good fun and exercise - an element of competition too, for the older ones. We've got about £200 in just this week so far 2
Steve Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 You might like to look at the Fundraising forum area for some more ideas Debbie. I've also moved this topic into that area as it probably fits more comfortably there. :1b
Guest SamG Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 We did a sponsored roly poly a couple of years back. Like Cait just copied some certificates, no outlay, just used our large crash mat. We raised almost £600. Note to self, must do this again soon :1b

Our nursery is running low on funds and preschool could do with some new resources( mainly storysacks as they are expensive). Going off subject a little............We found that making our own Story Sacks was a very successful and cheap alternative to buying new, finding resources from charity shops etc. We have made about 10, including Handra's Surprise and Owl Babies and also nursery rhyme sacks. Saving money for those bigger buys which we cannot make ourselves! Joanne
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 hi we do a sponsored bean grow which is cheap outlay and usually get lots back sponsored look and find - we draw simple pictures (about 12) including a pound coin - the children then get sponsors to find the objects - the children find them then collect the sponsor money
Guest Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 make loads of doh and sell balls for 50p a bag. can buy cutters in asda/wilkinsons etc and pop a few in too and sell for £1. storysacks i made lots. 2 books in each and a puppet/toy, and made pump bag type bag by hand sewing cheap fabric form the market. cheap and cheerful. books from our boxes/charity stores/christmas fair donations etc. don't need to raise so much then x
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 When we fundraise for Children In Need, Red Nose Day etc we always find that sponsored events raise more money than anything else. Encourage parents to take sponsor forms to work and pass round the family. Remember to choose something that doesn't have much outlay for you, to maximise the money you make. Good luck! Beehive
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 One of our best fundraisers is giving each child a mini smartie box, then getting sponsors for each item they get back in the box.....the parents get very competitive !
Guest Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I've just organised a charity auction for the 'move', raised just over £4,200 x
