Students from Bucks New Uni selling lollies to raise £125.

This idea is inspired by students from Bucks New University, who have been supporting our work for three years. [Thanks guys!]

The first fundraiser the students organised for LearnAsOne was simple, yet brilliantly effective.

Selling lollies.

In one night, three members of the ladies hockey team raised £125 by selling a large box of Chupa lollies

All they did was:

  1. Asked the nightclub owner for permission to sell lollies on a specific night.

  2. Bought a large box of lollies from the cash and carry.

  3. Each student spent 40 minutes selling lollies for a minimum donation of 50p.

  4. Then handed over to a friend and spent the rest of the night partying!

Could you do the same thing?

You can by them Chupa lollies from Amazon or from your local cash and carry.
