Does anyone know of any charities - especially kids ones, that need a fundraiser?

Question

Im training to be a youth worker and have over 20 years of fundraising experience. Also qualified as a secretary with many years of doing that also. Want to do some fundraising/organising events for a local charity based ideally in leeds or wakefield., especially one aimed towards disabled kids.

Answer 1

Take a pause and think ....

1. Since your target organisation has to be in a very localised area, then there is little to be gained by asking the whole world via Yahoo! Answers.

2. You should have focused your search on local media - Yellow Pages, Thompsons, community websites, community radio etc.

3. On Yahoo! Answers you can expect to get very little response, and often unhelpful replies. What you need is a list of organisations from a source free of any self-interest or favouritism, and you are extremely unlikely to get that here.

4. To help you a little, here are lists of organisations from locallife in the following category <>. Note that locallife is not a comprehensive list, as it only displays those organisations that have paid for a listing.
a) Leeds

b) Wakefield

Answer 2

you're authentic close with the radio station yet no for them to purchase them ask them in case you'll properly be at one in each and every of their remotes or bypass on air and discuss your tickets supply them your call and telephone decision. Radio people eat this stuff up! i understand because I actually have 2 solid associates who paintings for radio in OKC. kinfolk, associates and status in the front of a keep on a Saturday is solid also. Make a poster including your call and decision with places you'd be promoting them at like Wal-Mart Saturday from 10 to 12. solid success
