Charity Week 2006

[Sana :)]

Salaam All
I was thinking we should conduct charity week throughout ramadan, instead of for just one week, in order to raise the maximum amount of money, and focus ourselves during ramadan. What do people think? We also need to get the ball rolling for considering the types of fundraising we could do.
Charity reps?
Volunteers?
Ideas?

In terms of the bake sale, I think we should do the whole week, and sell possibly in multiple (maybe 2?) locations if we are allowed to (a bit ambitious? ). So, From last year's bake sale it is evident that people prefer baked goods over store-bought, and to be honest this is cheaper for us anyways. We just need the manpower!! Ok so.. who knows how to bake? well, I do. So thats 1 anyways!
Also. I think we should sell snacks like sandwichs. If they are slightly cheaper than outside, but just as good, we might make a killing there. think about it... how much does a slice of bread *actually cost, when you can sell a sandwich for minimum 1 pound.
Obviously we need to think about variety, which i hear is the spice of life; and quantity, so we can keep the bake sale going for as long as possible. we need some people to cook and some people to take shifts on the stalls (any volunteers? not just girls too btw!). Obviously if this happens in conjunction with UCL isoc, it is all the better. I am not sure what the UCL isoc is doing though as i cannot seem to find their forums. Anyone have any contacts with UCL Isoc?
In any case it is evident by the amount of money raised from the bake sales at some other universities that it is possible to raise a LOT. SO I think that inshallah we should really make it a major focus for charity week.
Take care

This means that charity week wil be upon us within 3 weeks of starting university and will fall on the last 10 days of ramadhan.

Please guys remember charity week is nothng without manpower, we should take GKT's example last year and use it to spur us on. We CAN raise as much if not MORE. So please anyone whos willing to get involved do please let me know. A rota will be goin up soon, so people can allocate their time accordingly.

Take care guys.

AA,

Just thought I'd mention it might be a good idea once UCL term has started and (probably even before the Charity Week debrief) to have a Charity Week planning meeting. You could use it as an opportunity to plan events/brainstorm ideas for ways of rasing money during the week itself & at the same time sign-up volunteers/allocate specific tasks to people.

It might be worth doing this at one of the Weekly meetings on a Tuesday.

WS,
