WAMES relies on donations from groups and individuals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sponsored events<\/h2>\n

Challenge yourself or a friend to do something active like a long walk, marathon, parachute jump,\u00a0swim\u00a0etc.<\/h3>\n

Try something more low energy like a sponsored silence, body shave (e.g., head, legs), sleep; pyjama wearing day (how many places can you visit in your PJs?)<\/h3>\n

Social events<\/h2>\n

Bring people together at a car boot sale, concert, coffee morning, parties, pub quizz or treasure hunt.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use your skills<\/h2>\n

Design and sell your own cards, make cakes, fudge, plants etc. Or auction your time for babysitting, gardening, teaching a skill etc.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

At home<\/h2>\n

Make a small change jar from a jam pot. Every now and then your family can clear their purses of some coins without noticing they’ve gone. When you have enough – send a cheque to\u00a0WAMES. Your bank or supermarket may have a coin sorting machine.\u00a0Read more information\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n
