• After receiving several presentations from various charities from the University of Bedfordshire which included;

1. CHUMS: A child bereavement and trauma service for young people

2. Keech Hospice: A care and bereavement service for all ages

• We also took some time to research into charities that might appeal to us. Some ideas included;

Transgender charitiesDepression support groupsElderly Care Help for homeless

Early stages of planning…

Our Decision

• After careful consideration and debate our group settled on supporting the charity CHUMS- the Child bereavement and Trauma service as it targeted our age group so we had a greater ability to emphasise with the situations and stories that have been dealt with by the charity.

• Also a few of our members have had support from the charity personally so it also gave our group an upper hand in terms of knowledge of the charity and connections.

A Team EffortAs a group we delegated different roles to suiting individuals to ensure we could maximise how much money and awareness we could raise:• Bethany was good at organisation, so she took control of our budget and

spending.• Elin was in control of social media as she had a lot of contacts and new how to get

the message across quickly and coherently.• Jaz took the role of IT management, utilising her skills to help with social media

and fundraising videos.• Cameron, Lewis, James and Dean took charge of organisation the quiz and venue

of our Quiz Night at Ashcroft High School• Vanessa took control of making and designing the posters for the 3 main events

our group was holding.• Um-E-Rabab helped with making posters and food for our cake sales.• Sumayyah, Demi and Imran contacted businesses, restaurants and shops in town,

asking for prize donations or promotion for our events.• Huda and Jema helped organise our coffee mornings and inform people about the

charity we were raising money for.• Ayesha worked closely with CHUMS about using her art.• Jess make cakes for our coffee morning at Bedford university.

Supporting local businesses…As part of our generosity, we as a group also agreed to promote some of the local businesses who kindly donated some products

towards our raffle on our facebook fundraising page.
