PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE FOR DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN MALAWI AND THEIR FAMILIES
Fundraising ideas for children
For safety reasons, always discuss your plans with a parent or other adult member of your family and ask them to ensure that you are adequately supervised. Although we have suggested some fundraising ideas below, feel free to use your imagination and create new challenges of your own.
Ten ways of raising £10
★ Sweets in a jar competition Charge twenty friends 50p each to guess how many sweets there are in a jar. Whoever gets closest wins all the sweets.
