Fund Raising for Lluest

Libby · Fund Raising for Lluest

As you know I am not a big fan of horses, I admire them from afar. But I am a big fan of Nanny and Mr Nanny who work so hard and tirelessly, through thick and thin at Lluest.
I wondered if, as we are such a close knit forum, we could come up with an idea to help raise funds that maybe we could do as a group.
What do you think? Any ideas?

I'm not very good at ideas but am happy to hear any suggestions. Smile

We could have a section where people auction items which they don't want anymore and any proceeds go to the charity, this is what we do on the dog rescue site where I volunteer, it's also a good motivation for clearing out stuff that isn't need anymore!
Does anybody have a b+b or holiday cottages? You could auction a week or long weekend holiday? This can generate quite a bit of money.
Hmm....what else, the usual....organise a local car boot, sponsored something or other...I'll have a think for more ideas

How about setting up a new section for fundraising, having an 'auction' bit for people to put on items to sell and if anyone has any other ideas we can add them to the section? I don't mind moderating this, though we are moving house next week and apparently have no phone line, so may be offline for a few days!

Great idea Libby. An auction sounds good, we could auction items, skills or holidays as Coco suggested.

eg, our caravan is old and worn out but we store it on a nice little site half an hour away from here.

We would be happy to go and set it up for anyone that would like to stay in it. The cost of a pitch is just £11 per night for however many people, dogs etc want to stay. So for a visit to this part of the world for a change, it would be much cheaper (but more uncomfortable!) than staying in a b&b.

I like all of these ideas but wonder if our forum is big enough?

I sell stuff on Ebay and can donate a percentage of what I sell for to LLuest details here which I am happy to do.

Nanny can you register Lluest here

Sponsered diet??? Laughing

I am kind of joking about that, but it might help motivate me.

Why not? anything that helps us and them Very Happy

i was think same as Libby, not sure if there are enough people on here to sustain an auction. Could we set up an ebay account to sell the items and give all profits to lluest. Not quite sure how the logistics would work though.

Please also keep nagging me to send my old horsey bits and pieces to nanny. i keep forgetting to do it!
