Ideas and Toolkits
This year's Appeal is on 20 November 2009 and it's going to be another fantastic, fun filled night of entertainment. Before then, we have lots of money to raise to help projects supporting disadvantaged children and young people around the UK.
This year, we're asking you to Do Something Different to help us raise money and due to the economic climate, disadvantaged children and young people around the UK need your help now more than ever. You don't have to do something scary or difficult, Doing Something Different just means doing something you wouldn't ordinarily do, such as wearing your pyjamas to work or school, or cleaning the cars on the whole street! As long as you have fun and raise money doing it!
Here we have loads of inspiration to get you going, starting with some ideas from Pudsey below. You can also download the best bits from our fundraising pack, posters, games, recipes and loads more as well as getting yourself kitted out with the latest Pudsey goodies... including a Pudsey bandana!
Use the buttons below to download materials, advice and help you raise as much money as possible.
Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download the reader here.
This year we're highlighting a different fundraising idea each week, along with how to do it and what you can buy to help you. Why not get sponsored to see if you can do as many of the fundraising ideas of the week as you can!
