Let's face it, most people who volunteer are passionate about helping people - but for some influencing social change is also important. Volunteering for a campaigning organisation allows volunteers to help make things happen for large charities. Find out what the grass roots activists get up to here.

FUNdraising week for Barnardos

Hey!

There has been a few things going on to raise money for Barnardo's this week so yesterday was well a silly day! You had to dress up in fancy dress which quite a few did.  There was a few witches and harry potters flying around (or if you've seen the  Simpsons Harry Plotters haha!) and yes flying well ok..... I didnt see them fly but they did have broomsticks!  I dressed up in my Ireland gear as I knew no one else would have that I found out the day before so it was a quick think to see what I could rummage up.  It was good laugh!

There was 'Bring and Buy' lunch which was great and 2 cakes were auctioned off too! And loads of other stuff like Guess the Baby's name; where there was pics of Management when they were younger and you had to see if you could guess who was who.

So that was part of my day the other part we came up with a plan of things to happen at the party meeting this evening and put that together.

I went through what I had done so far on my Youth Achievement Award and what had happened with the work Im doing with YPRAG too.  Seem to be all on track, looking forward to Wednesday when we do an evaluation of the group and look at putting together files for YPRAG's YAA.
