Lotteries application has been submitted to Plymouth City Council. If successful, this will allow us to organise large scale raffles where tickets can be sold over a number of weeks- usually a good way of raising funds at Christmas time!
We have also applied for a Gift Aid reference number via HM Revenue & Customs. This will allow the charity to recover tax from donations at sponsored events.
Talking of which... we have our first organised event arranged. This will be a charity abseil at Chudleigh Rock Centre. The abseil will be held on Sunday 17th August. The rock centre offer excellent training and facilities - we have used them twice before for abseils on behalf of the "Give A Child A Chance" appeal (see www.gacac.org.uk for some photos). The centre offer training on a training slope before tackling the challenge of a real rock face (approx 80ft).
We are looking at setting up a 'justgiving' website where people can donate online. Before we do this we need the Gift Aid reference number - so may be a few weeks away yet.
Thanks for reading. If there is anything else you would like to see covered here - please let me know.
