Getting involved
Orgainising a Collection for children
We're looking for dedicated people to spare a few hours to organise a collection in your local community. Why not bring together a group of family, friends, neighbours, work or club colleagues and organise a collection in your area? We can provide you with all the fundraising materials you'll need to do the job.
House-to-house collections…
House-to-house collections using envelopes which are dropped through letterboxes and then picked up at a later date is the most successful way to collect.
You can do it in 6 easy steps:
- Co-ordinate your team of collectors
- Decide which areas are to be covered and who is going to do what.
- Work out the materials you will need to do your collection and order them
- Meet your team and distribute the materials accordingly.
- Once the collection is over, arrange to meet your collectors to gather all envelopes and other materials
- Open all envelopes and boxes in the presence of a witness, check amounts, record all details and bank the money raised.
Other collections…
Alternatively why not collect through one of the following easy methods:
- Desk to desk collection - distribute envelopes to colleagues at work or take a collection box around and ask for a donation in return for a lapel label (which we can supply)
- Collecting at events - collect at a social event or at your local club
- Pew to pew collection - ask your local church to put envelopes out on the pews or donate a retiring collection
- Community groups - approach local community groups such as your local Lions club, Rotary Club or Mother's Union to see if they will help collect
- Street collection - take a collection box to your local town centre, railway station or supermarket to collect.
