Raising Money with Lifting a Finger

This week I came up with a great fundraising scheme that will help raise about £150 for The Brooke without anyone having to do anything.

I run my own business and most of my clients pay by monthly standing order. In December we didn't have time to change their standing orders to meet the clever Chancellor's idea to reduce VAT. We were going to send refunds to all our clients until I asked them if I could roll all the little amounts (ranging from £1.00 to £10.00) into one donation. My clients have already paid the money, so they won't miss it; by combining the small amounts, the overall amount will make a difference.

Thank you to all my lovely clients who have agreed to take part!
