Fundraising ideas!

So, here are some ideas I have come up with so far for me to help charities. I don't know whether I'll do ALL of them, but I'm definitely doing some! If you have any ideas, let me know! Or, if you're planning to do something for charity but don't know what, feel free to use some of these ideas! They've all been done before and who says they can't be done again?


  • Sponsored Walks
  • Car Wash
  • Variety shows
  • Sponsored Swim (my dad was a lifeguard so he'll train me)
  • Dye my hair a different colour (suggest a colour!!!) 
  • Walking dogs for people
  • Boot sales
  • Make cards (My gran and I will do this together)
  • Give blood (I have to check if I'm eligible because some medications stop you)
  • Grow my hair to donate
  • Veggie Bush tucker trials
  • Sponsored PJ dahy
  • Sponsored dance for the day
  • Movie night with friends
  • Volunteer at charity shops
  • Make and sell wristbands
  • Sell things online
  • Sing what I say for the day (I did this when I was little)
Let me know if you have any ideas!


Thanks to all who's retweeted what I'm doing so far- the support has been amazing! Please share this blog wherever you can! 

Thanks guys!

Introduction :)

Hi there!

I'm Jazmin and I'm 17 from Wales, United Kingdom. I'm writing this blog separate from my personal blog because I want to keep track of what I'm doing.

You see, I love helping charities. A hell of a lot. Ask anyone who knows me well. So, one bored and random night, whilst on my laptop, with charity events I am organising just running around in my mind, I decided "hey. Why not set myself a challenge?" And I did. The challenge? To help 100 charities within 12 years. Now, it might not seem so bad, but remember- I'm 17 years old and in college. I have a family, friends, work to do. I have things that will get in my way, but I've had enough of not being able to help everyone and so I'm going to do it. Whether it's an event, being sponsored, making and selling things, anything! And I don't have to do it alone. I have an amazing family who I'll have backing me up and some awesome friends. I also have my own project, Inspire, which I created and part of the project is to help charities, so that will play a big part in my challenge.

I won't back down from this. I want to do it so much and if I don't, then I'll be so disappointed in myself. I'm not going to give myself an exact deadline, but in 12 years from now, I want to be around 100 charities and if I'm close, then so what? I'll just work those extra few months to finish up. If I don't reach my goal on time, then I just move my time. Why? Because charity doesn't have a limit. There's always someone who needs to be helped.

It'd be amazing if you could support me. If you know of a charity you think I should help, please let me know! If it's local to you but not near me, it will be hard but I'll try! I'm not writing out 100 charities and that's that- I'm just going to help charities I know/find on my way. It's a pretty flexible challenge, but it's still needs me to do it. So I will.

I'll keep you updated here and on my Twitter so keep checking!

Thank you for reading and I hope you will support me.
