Our FOBU mini team have completed some fabulous fundraising over the last few years, here's some of the things they've done that might inspire your very own minis.

Taking on a physical challenge - one of our wonderful minis, Esme, is in the process of running a marathon a month for a year. This isn't her first physical fundraiser for FOBU and started with smaller running challenges which she has built upon each year. Physical challenges can also be fun to do in groups, some of our minis have completed the Derby10k funrun.

Raffle off a hamper - Easter and Christmas hampers always go down a treat, Freya has done a few of these and found them quite easy to put together. Selling tickets to your friends and family, school and activity groups is a great way to raise funds, who wouldn't want to win lots of treats?

Chop your hair for charity - We have been lucky to be the recipient of funds raised from hair a few hair donations including one of our very own FOBU minis, Evie. The best bit is that the hair is donated to another charity - The little princess trust - who use the hair to make wigs for young people who may have lost their own through conditions such as cancer or alopecia.

Have a cake sale at school - these are always a great sucess and are well supported by the school families and staff, they go down a storm at events, parents evenings or even just being held on a random designated day.
