Fundraising

This year I am hoping to become an integral part of the fundraising for our final degree show in May, as we must raise all funds ourselves I feel its important to get involved as much as possible. I have a few ideas for how to raise money and think as a group we should start early on to use all opportunities to our advantage. I have suggested the idea of a hosting a Halloween horror night in our building, with a haunted house theme. By opening the building inviting students from all art based courses based in the building I hope more people will want to get involved or attend. With such little time to organise such a big event, gathering as many people as possible has become a must. Mass emails have been sent out to all art students in our building to help along with talking to tutors and students to gather volunteers and spreading the word of the event most of my time has been spent on setting this event up.

With a lot of help from Alex we have managed to also meet with the manager of a close by student-favourite pub, The Phoenix to talk about sponsoring our event or holding part of the event with them. They were very generous to offer us a room to hold an after party with plenty of games to play, prizes to win and free drinks. This offer will hopefully add some interest to our event for students and entice them to donate and part with money. 

Currently we have a group of graphic design students, art students and fashion students volunteers to help make this night a success. With such little time to organise and plan everything its great to have so much support from other courses, hopefully by utilising all art students more money can be raised and an impact made with the start of events. The money raised from this event will be spilt equally amongst the courses contributing but hopefully in future planning of events, students will be willing to be involved or help one another from getting to know each other from this event.

Lately I have been feeling unwell and unfortunately lost my voice, so planning this event with people has been a challenge, this has also taken its toll on my work's progress.
