Hugs! (Photo credit: Dale Gillard, Flickr)

Get yourself an A3 bit of card and a marker pen. Write “Charity Hugs £1 each” on it.

Put on your best clothes and find yourself a busy spot in town.

Then ask people if they would like a hug.

Make sure you take along one of these posters so everyone knows what you are fundraising for.

Spread some love. Raise some cash!
