One and all,

Having been involved with raising funds for our recent refurbishment at Thame Church I thought I would share with anyone planning to raise funds within a limited area what sort of thing we have found successful.

Fetes: the biggest winners here financially tend to be the god old raffle! especially where prizes are donated.
Auction of Promises: this can be a really fun occasion, though our most recent one we ran through the web service
Auction of Promises [1] and actually rose twice times as much as the previous three year's local event s put together.

Bot sales: limited really to admissions, but running some entertainment and a bar is a must if it is to be worthwhile fir fundraising.
