do-gooding

Mother Teresa

Since we are lazy bastards who don’t do much for the good of the world, we are in great admiration of those that do. Like Jason from Liverpool here:

I am doing this thing called World Challenge, where I go to South Africa for a month to help a few villages. But the problem is raising the money – I have got to earn £2800 for it. How will I possibly earn that much? I’m only 15!

Given that we spend most of our working hours on an unpaid hobby, it’s fair to say that we are the wrong people to ask about fundraising – but perhaps you lot are full of fine ideas, that are both suitable and possible for a 15-year-old? Please do the right thing and comment below!

BUSKING!
people of very little musical talent seem to get along just fine, so you don’t need any actual skill…
Alternatively, you could ask your school to allow you to hold a fundraiser where you can pay to throw sponges at teachers (raised over thousand pounds at our school).

Or film family members as you unexpectedly throw things at them and then post the videos to You’ve Been Framed….

why don’t you try to make some handy crafts that are cheap to get the supplies for and just put a little on for profit. you could try selling them at school to younger kids who are extreamly gullible saying that they can give you magic powers. or you could find said extreamly gullible younger kids that want an older kid’s advice on things like sports, girls, homework, parents, sibilings ect. and charge them for it. or you could talk to the administrators at your school and see if they would be willing to host a fundraiser for your cause and maybe you could get more people involved. Good Luck!!

Why not try submitting some crazy tips to Sun Readers’ Tips, Pick Me Up and/or Take A Break magazine? £25 for every ridiculous ‘tip’ printed if you include a photo. Easy money I reckon!

What about that thing in the Sun where they split 1000 pounds between 3 people who have some sob story? I think it is called Captain Crunch.
