Valentine's Card Fundraiser ❤️😍

Whilst brainstorming ideas to help fundraise for the Cumbria-Rungwe Link, me and Beth realised that Valentine's Day was coming up and it would be a perfect opportunity to do something seasonal to raise money. We knew straight away that we wanted to hand-make something that we could sell, and since chocolates and roses were already being sold at our school (Westlakes Academy) we decided to design and make a handful of cards that were influenced by last years fundraising. We printed one of each card as a sample and set up a 'stall' kind of table in the school to advertise and take orders for the cards which were 50p each. The cards proved extremely popular, and Emily and Sarah wanted to get involved as soon as they saw we were selling them, which helped us because the cards were a lot of work and took up a lot of time to hand write, colour in and add glitter to, not to mention tallying each design, printing and collecting money from people who purchased them. We hand delivered all cards on the last day of term and eventually raised £35.
