What inspired you to fundraise?
While my friends and i were at Aqua Splash we saw three girls in front of us have to go away as the didn't have enough money to go swimming. After that we thought of raising money for even worse off then them.
What did you choose to do and why?
We choose to do a sponsored walk as it's a fun and active way to raise money. It won't just raise money it will help us to keep fit.
What was involved and did you get much help from the organisation/people you were supporting?
We have had help and ideas from childrenin need the are always greatful when someone gives up their time to help.
How many people on your volunteer fundraising team and how did you get your team together?
Well it's hard to say exactly. Their are four people doing the walk but our parents are really suportive and helpfull.
What was it like planning for it?
It has been difficult but worth it. As we are only in secondary school we had to work out a date that wouldn't clash with school or homework.
How long did it take, including everyone's time?
A regular monthly commitment
What was it like asking for donations, any top tips?
Feel confident about yourself while asking and always be kind. If you do get a few people like we did that don't want to give you anything then don't give up push it to the back of your mind.
What was your target?
£100 or more
How much did you raise?
not sure yet, but we have already raised £102!
Would you do it again?
We have all decided we would deffinetly do it again. Although it has been hard we have had loads of fun together.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to do the same thing?
Be ready to give a commitment it's not something you can do on a whim!!!
