Raise money for Sound Seekers
Putting the fun in fundraising
- Could you run a quiz in your local pub, hold a coffee morning or indulge your friends in a wine-tasting evening?
- Why not get sponsored to spend a day in silence?
- How about inviting your friends to a fundraising dinner and asking them to judge their meal Come Dine With Me style and give a donation to Sound Seekers based on what they think your meal was worth?
- Think you’ve got the X Factor, why not go carol singing to collect donations?
- Next year sees Delhi host the Commonwealth games, why not hold your own version by recreating those sports day favourites such as the egg and spoon race with participants having to pay an entry fee to Sound Seekers?

Clever Squirrel
Hidden in roughly half of all pensions, investments, health and life insurance products are pots of money to pay advisers. If you don’t have an adviser for your policy, you’re arguably paying for nothing! Clever Squirrel was set up to unearth this money and help it go to a worthy home. Go to www.cleversquirrel.com to join. You sign one form and list your policies. Then we work out how much hidden cash could be donated to your favourite charity.
