I know it's only a week away but could we, as a forum, arange something to raise some money for the charity. In the approaching 2 years I've been a member on here I don't think it's ever been suggested.

Not only is it making a worthwhile contribution to the charity, it could also raise the profile of accyweb. If we can come up with an innovative idea we could approach the LET and Observer asking them to run a story on it.

My suggestions would be a 24 hour sponsored online-a-thon or a sponsored log-on-a-thon or something like that.

Stupid idea or something that could work? Any ideas?

They are not known for being timely with their stories so you might have to stick with the LEt as you also suggested.
 
How about a sponsored move-athon. Everyone comes and helps me move house next Friday and I'll give a couple of quid to children in need :D

PS There is no LET nowadays :)
 
What a cracking Idea Tinks...........now I have my thinking cap on!! :rolleyes: hmm
 
i will kindly donate the use of my left foot for those children in need....












of a kick up the arse :D

Start the preperations now and by the time it comes around then more money could be raised.

Dunno, really. The 24 hour one could have been fun. See if we could have lasted on here for 24 hours. It could have gone in the papers to encourage people to come onto accyweb and have a look how we are getting on, hopefully gaining more members for the site whilst raising cash for Children In Need.

That is actually a very very good idea :D

All we need to do is get some sponsor forms going, get some publicity on it, then we open a 24 hour thread for children in need where we all have to keep talking so that people know that we are still awake lol.
 
Well ....... I don't want to put her on the spot :) ..... but if enogh interest is shown I was hoping Gayle would have some ideas on that. I've never done any fundraising before so not sure how to go about getting the publicity for it and other stuff.
 
Another idea - the most users ever online was 965 - if we were to set a time and try to beat that number - all putting in £1, we'd have almost £1000.

Only thing with that is some of them were visitors, and won't pay the pounds.
