Any thoughts on setting up a Cancer Research UK fundraising group?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,


My name is Fiz and I work with people in the local community who are doing fundraising in aid of Cancer Research UK. I work with lots of different types of people and groups who do things like organise an annual ball, a sponsored dog walk or a put on their own street party. But as far as I know there is no one raising money for Cancer Research UK in this way in Dulwich.


So really I wanted to get your ideas about where I should start with finding these wonderful people who might be keen to start their own fundraising group? Or any ideas you had about why this wouldn?t work in Dulwich or what else I can do?


Although survival rates have doubled in the last thirty years, and we have been at the heart of that progress, it remains a sad fact that every two minutes someone is diagnosed with cancer. So thats why I am putting this shout out to you as we need to keep fundraising, and will not stop our work until we have achieved our aim that together we will beat cancer.


Any ideas, questions, inspiration welcome.


Fiz

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
