FUNDRAISING

Where to start?
TAKE A DEEP BREATH, HERE WE GO...
Did you know…
You need to start by sitting yourself down
and working out what your fundraising
target is, so you can start planning from
there. To work this out, answer these
questions:
• Can family/friends make any
contributions (time/money/things
to sell)?
• Do you/can you get a part time job?
If not, are there any odd jobs you
could do for people?
• Are you fundraising for just the trip, or
also your vaccinations, visa, spending
money, etc?
• How long do you have?
• What other current commitments do
you have?
You can now work out how much you can
start saving, whether this means saving
up some money from your job/odd job or
planning future events with help from your
family and friends!
Did you know…
Each individual student
who travels with us
manages to raise 75%
of the cost of their trip
through fundraising!
Fundraising is actually
beneficial to your
studies! It teaches you
to prioritise and manage
your time effectively!
SCHOOL / COLLEGE WORK
The majority of our volunteers are either still
in full time education or have just finished
school, college or university. It is extremely
important that your fundraising efforts do
not interfere with your studies. You CAN do
your work and fundraise at the same time,
it’s not as impossible as it seems! You just
need to PLAN!
It can only be helpful if you plan your
time out properly and stick to a timetable.
Timetables are great, because it means
you have enough time to do everything,
and become a superman/superwoman.
To start off your timetable, remember to
organise fundraising outside of study time,
and avoid planning anything for the run up
to your exams. Make sure to get it done
before then, and then you can focus all
your energy on your exams.
