BEYOND FUNDRAISING ITS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MAKING MONEY!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR CHARITY IN PAST? Chat to the person next to you (not somebody from your own sport or society) about what you did last year for charity - whether this raised money or not!

FEEDBACK What worked well about those events? What did you find difficult?

Being charitable is about giving up time as well as raising money
