I was doing So well they decided to let me run the whole
show on my own with a little help from some of the staff
we got it off the ground.
2004
I manage to arrange a fun day for the first time, what
we had was a stall out side where we were selling donated
goods, to public. We had a Raffle / Sold plants/ Cakes
/Toys, All of these Items where Donated buy the staff.
Then around Christmas time I decided to do Christmas
raffle for the Staff. This went really well. We even
had cakes to sell as well; this was for the staff only.
The cakes were going so well I was having trouble in
making them and selling them, so I ended up asking some
staff. That year went off really well. we made our first
breakthrough with an amount of £1370.00 , 1.300.00
was donated to black marston school.
2005
We started with an Easter Raffle, in the meantime I
have been selling Items on EBay, We have manage to get
Free gifts that were left over, Selling on eBay Has
been really good for us, we no its only 2.00 or 3.00
per item but at the end of the day its still something.
For the Christmas Staff Raffle, I had to think of another
way of getting donations so I thought why not write
to Local Hereford shop's and tell them what we were
doing and what were after, after sending 54 letters
we had 20 replies with Donations. This was Amazing.
We had so much to wrap up. That year we mad 105.00 went
to merrygo roundabout school, and £100.00 Hampton
dene school, £55.00 went to School Nursery.
2006
we had a good year, we again just sold items on eBay,
another Christmas raffle which we made 100.00 + sale
from Last years Calendars we sold 105.00 with other
sales we raised this year £430.00, So as you can
see I'm really busy working on kids first, from sorting
out events or planning new events, I also run a weather
centre too so things do get a little bit busy for
me, but I do tend to keep working on kids first no matter
what......
