Donating to the Tsunami Hope Appeal
You don't have to go on a walk to raise money for the appeal!
All money raised will go 100% to helping the shattered communities of Phuket and the Moken sea gypsies. If you don't raise money through being sponsored or by sponsoring a walker, you can still help by making a direct donation to the Tsunami Hope Appeal at PO Box 2697, Reading RG1 9BR, making cheques and PO's payable to Compassion and Care International (Tsunami Hope).
Fundraising ideas
- Try for a generous donation to be written at the top of your sponsorship form - this encourages all the other sponsors to think big!
- Ask your employer to sponsor you - hopefully your colleagues will follow suit.
- Stick up a sponsorship form at work in the staff room, tea room or kitchen.
- Hold a fundraising event to raise money - Sarah Pollard bought Thai market items in February to help the local economy and is now selling them at a craft stall to raise more funds.
- Approach as many people as you can - friends, family, work colleagues, business contacts, clients, suppliers, pub aquaintances, sports team members. All you need do is ask.
- Email or text your friends to get them to make a pledge.
- Don't forget to carry a sponsorship form with you everywhere.
We need people and companies to help make the appeal a success!
