Report: Fund-raising day


From Advanced Expert CAE
Suggested answer
JULY FUND-RAISING DAY

Introduction
This report is intended to:
1 give an overview of our recent fund-raising day for your charity;
2 indicate who raised the money and how:
3 make recommendations for next year.
Overview
On 22 July this year, a substantial sum of money was raised for the charity. The total raised for disadvantaged children exceeded the sum achieved last year. In the main, the day was very successful.
Participation
Most of the 50 volunteers were students from the university.
How the money was raised
The largest part of the total raised (40%) came from visiting houses and knocking on doors. Collections were also carried out in the street, accounting for 3010, and we raised a further 20% from a jumble sale. The remainder came from a variety of sources.
Recommendations
In the light of this year's experience, I would make the following recommendations:
1 that we organize a wider variety of activities, including street parties (if we could make them work successfully);
2 since some members of the public thought our street collectors were not legitimate fund raisers, we should, in future, issue them with special badges to avoid misunderstanding.
Conclusion
To sum up, I would say that this year's fundraising day was a great success and that we could make it even more successful next year. (220 words)
