Hi Maria,

 

We sometimes leave a couple of little pots with a few pound coins already in in the middle of the tables, but have noticed that if you mention it at the start of the activity you are more likely to receive donations. We also put in on flyers for activities where a donation would be appreciated.

 

I would definitely mention it to your assembled crafters.

Hi Gem,

 

I was wondering if anyone had a good examples or advice about how to encourage parents/ carers to make a small donation at free craft events?

 

Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I am happy to share responses with anyone else who is interested in this topic.

 

Many thanks,

 

Maria Minards
