- Get inspiration from last year's Raise Off winners. Why not have a teddy bear naming competition? Or perhaps you could order an Amnestea pack and hold a doughnut sale?
- Whatever the weather you can hold an Amnesty themed picnic inside or outside. You could each bake a cake or make some sandwiches and charge people to come along and enjoy them with you
- Whatever you decide to do, we can help! Get in touch with us at fundraise@amnesty.org.uk or 0207 033 1650. Let us know your plans over the autumn term so we can share your fundraising events in our monthly mailings
