Organise a Fun Day
Why not organise a day for children in your area to come and have some fun! You could write to companies to ask if they could donate some money towards the day in return for advertisement, or you could ask for prizes or any other donations. This is so that the day can be mostly free for the children.
The day could include a climbing wall and inflatables like sumo suits or a bouncy castle, it could include donkey rides, face painting and nail painting. Our fun day also included a story tent, drum workshops, live bands and music, and a variety of stalls like hook a duck, guess the weight of the cake and the name of the bear etc. Don’t forget to have stalls for food and drink at the event as well. At ours we had a cake and sweet stall, a drink stand with fizzy drinks as well as plenty of water, a panini stand and a BBQ, there was also lots of space for picnics. Also think about where the nearest toilets are, and if necessary hire out facilities.
It’s a great event to organise and run on the day, and brings a lot of fun and enjoyment for others too. Don’t forget to enlist the help of others too though, it would be a difficult event to run on your own!
You won’t need a tent for this activity! There are so many people living on the streets due to lots of circumstances. There are charities that try to help these people but like every charity they need funding and donations. So how about gathering together friends or collegues together for a night out to see what it is like to sleep rough and to raise sponsorship to do this activity.
Ever thought of white water rafting? It sounded pretty scary to me too at first! Rafting through those rapids, but actually it’s really fun.
