Crisis supporter Julie tells us more about her creative fundraiser for Crisis ⭐
My daughter (Rachel) grew all the pumpkins from seed and we managed to sell a few plants earlier in the year but had lots left over and nowhere really to plant them! So we just planted them in our flower borders and they grew really well. We ended up with over 70 pumpkins so decided to sell them and ask for donations to Crisis via a Facebook post. We were really blown away by the response from the local community who were all very generous and supportive, the majority were sold in a day and to date we have raised just over £160. We met people who have seen first hand the impact of homelessness which highlighted to us the importance of the vital work being done by Crisis. It’s been great to be able to make a contribution to the charity.
We love to see such creative fundraisers! Feeling inspired? Check out our ideas about how you can fundraise for Crisis this Christmas ❤️
