Bag packing results

Having made £872 at the end of October by packing bags for shoppers at the local Asda supermarket, we've had a re-run today.

With huge numbers of people in Asda today filling their cupboards after the last few days of snow and ice, and over 50 members of the Sea Scout Group on duty, we've had a great day.  Thank you very much to everyone who organised, led or took part in this great group effort, and thank you also to the management, staff and customers of Totton Asda for their generosity.

And the result of all this effort today...

£1,022

Well done everyone!

So the 2 bag packing sessions, including match funding, have raised a wonderful £3,788 - pretty good for 2 days' work.

Here's the updated chart of the money we've raised against our year's £20,000 target, to maximise the funds we can have doubled by our charitable benefactors.


All told, we're now at about £3,000 (or £6,000 when match funded) raised so far since the beginning of October, still aiming for the £5,000 interim target for the end of December - plenty of pre-Christmas buying and selling on eBay and through easyfundraising.org.uk will help us on the way - see my previous post for how your use of these sites can get us some more money.
