REPORT - CAE

JULY FUND-RAISING DAY

INTRODUCTION

This report is intended to:

1 give an overview of our recent fund-raising dayfor your charity;

2 indicate who raised the money and how;

3 make recommendations for next year.

OVERVIEW

On 22 july this year, a substantial sum of money was raised for the charity. The total raised for disadvantaged children exceeded the sum achieved last year. In the main, the day was very successful.

PARTICIPATION

Most of the 50 volunteers were students from university.

HOW THE MONEY WAS RAISED

The largest part of the total raised (40%) came from visiting houses and knocking on doors.

Collections were also carried out in the street,accounting for 30%, and we raised a further 20% from a jumble sale. The remainder came from a variety of sources.

RECOMMENDATIONS

In the light of this year's experience, I would make the following recommendations:

1 that we organise a wider variety of activities, including street parties (if we could make them work successfully);

2 since some members of the public thought our street collectors were not legitimate fund raisers, we should, in future, issue them with special badges to avoid misunderstanding-

CONCLUSION

To sum up, I would say that this year's fund-raising day was a great success and that we could make it even more successful next year.
