I’ve always thought that the best way to get people fundraising is by them doing something that they enjoy – and the fundraising bit is just an add on. Whether it is running marathons, holding coffee mornings or quiz nights, or going to a formal dinner .
When I was thinking about ways to fundraise for our book box scheme – my thought turned to book clubs. It was also prompted by a friend of mine who belongs to a book club saying that she thought that her and her friends could fundraise for something when they met each month.
So our book club campaign has been born. We are starting small – contact existing donors, friends and family that are in Book Clubs and those local to our office in Ealing. We hope that the idea will be successful – we estimate we need 3 clubs giving £10 a month to provide a Book Box for a secondary school in rural Uganda.
