A-Z of Fundraising Ideas

In the attached document there are hundreds of ideas that you can peruse. I'm sure there will be something in it that you may fancy being involved with. Don't forget, the list is not exhaustive. You may have other ideas or colleagues at work may have their own ideas, please feel free to bounce their thoughts around.

Just remember to give us the money raised after, please!

Do you use the Internet for shopping?

I'm sure you do or you know someone who does. Why not take a look at the following link www.buy.at/sticknstep. By making your purchase through this website, Stick 'n' Step make money. You'll be surprised at how many shops you can purchase from on line that generates money for the Centre. Just take a look.

Tesco, HMV, ELC, John Lewis, SKY, Butlins, Thomson, M&S...

Do you have an old mobile phone or used ink jet cartridges?

Again, I'm sure you do, I know I do. Why not recycle them and Stick 'n' Step can make money from them. Ask at Reception for a Freepost envelope, take it home or bring it back to us. Some cartridges generate £1 for Stick 'n' Step and phones generate up to £30. Just a few of these each month and your contribution could be quite significant, without trying too hard.

www.recycle4charity.co.uk is the firm that we have linked with. Check out their site for further details. The Centre has a plentiful supply of Freepost bags.

Why not make www.everyclick.com your search engine?

If you select Stick 'n' Step as your chosen Charity then we make money every time use it to make a search. How easy is that? The money soon mounts up if we all do it.

Do you use E-Bay?

I'm sure you know someone who does. If you sell any of your items on E-Bay, why not consider donating the proceeds (or a percentage) to Stick 'n' Step. www.ebay.co.uk

Do you buy books or DVD's for the children, or CD's from Amazon? Every time you make a purchase through the following link, Stick 'n' Step makes money. It doesn't cost you anything. www.amazon.co.uk

Why not buy some of our promotional goodies.

We have the following available from the Centre and shop:

• Mugs - £2 each
• Teddy Bear key rings - £2.50 each
• Trolley keyrings - £1 each
• Wrist bands for children and adults - £1 each
• Pin badges - £1 each

If you would like a supply of any of the above items to take away and sell, we would be delighted to make up a bag of them for you. We can also put them in a display box if you would prefer. Just ask at Reception.

Ever considered Payroll Giving?

What is it? It's a simple, tax-efficient way to support the Charity of your choice. (Stick 'n' Step we hope!!) You decide how much you want to give each week or month and then you ask your payroll department to deduct your donation from your pay. It's really that easy. Your payroll department sends your donations to an Inland Revenue approved payroll agency and they send your gift on to the chosen charity.

Once again, we hope its Stick 'n' Step. Ask Barbara or Sarah if you feel you need to know more. If you want to see the form then please feel free to download it now.

Some of our mums and dads and grandparents over the last year have really tested themselves.

One of our mums decided to do the Great Wall of China walk. She planned it all herself, but we would be delighted to help you if you want to follow in her footsteps.

We have a dad who has spent months training to do a parachute jump. The weather hasn't been kind to him so far but again if this is something you fancy, just let us know and we'll help you get it organised.

A friend of one of mum's managed to gain entry to the Great North Run and she lived to tell the tale! Several of our mum's are in training for the Liverpool 10k.

One of our grandmothers did the Santa dash through Liverpool City Centre for the second consecutive year. She had a ball.

The list is endless.
You name the activity; we'll help you with the arrangements,
please just ask at Reception.

We love a challenge.

Gift Aid

And finally... whatever money you raise if you use Gift Aid, the Inland Revenue will give us 28 pence for every one of your pounds. What could be simpler? To qualify for Gift Aid, what you pay in UK income tax must be at least equal to the amount we will claim in the tax year.
