Brits do love any opportunity to put on a pair of funky wellies, especially for a good cause. I still believe this is a very British phenomenon from a childhood filled with special wellies (I’m sure I’m not the only one who wore my favorite yellow wellies to bed when I was four). You can probably also think of countless story books about a child and their wellies.
Since working with wearyourwellies.com we have realised just how many people use wearing wellies as a fundraising tool.
I have added a few recent projects (in my own words
) below. Hopefully, they will inspire you!
The most recent post I found was about a group of people, over 80 adults and children raised over £2000 for the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity by walking around Danbury Park’s ancient woodlands.
I also found lots of sponsored welly walks organised by numerous primary schools to raise money for their schools. The walks always seem to be a huge success and a lot of fun.
If you would like to organise a similar event for a charity, take a look a these two great websites to help people raise money for charity: justgiving.com and simplygiving.com.
My neighbour shaved his head for Meningitis research and raised over £1000 VERY quickly. He was very surprised by the amount he raised and how easy it was and we were very surprised by his new look, which really suits him!
