Hey fundraisers! I thought I would write a quick blog about pub collections and how easy they are to raise a bit of extra money.
About a week ago, me and a group of fundraisers grabbed our charity buckets and visited a few pubs around Cardiff. We were pleasantly surprised. Everyone was on top form and gave generously. In return we handed out sweets, I was surprised at how many adults still enjoyed a sweet or two!
We did pub collections for two hours and I was very pleased with the total amount we raised.

Above is a summary of our total amount raised. We raised £125.53 so we then would get £25.10 each. As we had to share it out it may not seem like we raised a great deal but just think, if you do a pub collection every two weeks or even do it for an extra hour or two your total will soon mount up!
Pub collections are an easy, simple and fun way to raise some money! You could even dress up to draw attention to yourselves. When doing pub collections, you must first ask the person in charge if you're allowed to pester their customers for donations, as sometimes pub's won't allow you to do this especially if the pub already support a local charity!
If visiting pubs and asking for donations isn't your cup of tea, you could instead ask your local pub to display your bucket on the bar for a couple of months, that way you can still gain donations but you won't have to ask or bother the customers.

Why not arrange a pub collection with you and a few friends this week? Grab your buckets, perhaps buy some sweets to raise your chances of donations and its probably best to wear a t-shirt of your charity or perhaps take your charity ID card just to show you're raising money for a legitimate charity! 

If you've done a pub collection before, how did it go?

That's all for today! Check back next week for some more fundraising ideas!
