Whats the best way to raise money for a school trip..?

Question

that I want to go on, I would like to pay half which is about £200, I thought about selling my old bike which I never use, and I'm only just too young to get a proper part time job, any ideas other than a car boot sale?

Answer 1

Ebay, sell weird itmes that arent very common, it will suprise u howmuch people will pay id they want an item that you find useless

Answer 2

get people to sponsor you for doing something - get in the local papers - anything like that - and say it is to fund your school trip. A couple of months ago the kids at our local school did some dog grooming, dog bathing, dog walking- and charged £5 or so for doing it, for something similar. They raised loads, got their ads in local shops, newsagent post office etc. They also got in the local paper - local press love that sort of thing, which will help you raise more cash. Email or ring them and you could end up a local celeb! Good luck with it!!

Answer 3

as the other person suggested ebay is a good option to sell stuff you never know people collect. If you're in europe..there are tons of items people would pay extra $$ for in America that you could only get in Europe..assuming you're willing to ship it to them...but have them pay for shipping. Other things you can do..car washing, do chores for people, baby sit, make food/bake food and sell them to friends, parents of friends. things like that.

When I was young,I did car washes,lemonade stands,babysitting. If you know your neighbors you could offer
to take out the trash for them,tell them you are trying to raise
money for a trip(usually,people are pretty understanding when they know you are trying to accomplish something).
Or another suggestion,offer to pick up there newspaper for them,or you could try your family church(churches are very
helpful when it comes to fundraising).Good Luck! U.S.A
