Outreach Project - the starting block

Mon, 21/01/2013 - 15:00

We are always looking at new ways to raise money for the BNP. We are currently experimenting with the use of selling sites and similar. In order to do this to the full effect, we need your help.

We will be starting this experiment at the Organisers' Conference this coming weekend, and so if you come along this weekend, if possible, please bring with you at least one item that you no longer need/want/use that you are happy to donate to the BNP to sell and put the proceeds in the Party accounts.

Even if you are not attending this weekend, if you have something that you would like to donate to this venture, please contact your local or regional organiser and ask them to bring it with them on your behalf.

This is an experiment in raising money to fund new outreach operations at a regional level, and so it is most important that you, as an organiser, assist in this experiment.

Please consider the following when you select your item(s) that you wish to donate to this experiment: Item(s) should normally be in working order and be clean and tidy. Item does not have to be designer or expensive, after all, people use the selling sites to find a bargain, although if you have something larger to donate it would of course be gratefully received. Item(s) does not have to be old/antique, jeans and well worn real leather shoes sell just as well as antique jugs and crockery!

Suggested donatable items are as follows:

Unwanted clothes (including rag clothes)
Jewellery
Spare car parts
Shoes
New with tags items you will never use (eg unwanted Christmas gifts)
Branded goods
Baby items
CDs/DVDs/Vinyl disks
Unwanted mobile phones
Unloved games machines (eg playstation 1/2, gameboy, nintendo 64)
Camping items
Broken laptop/netbook
Un-used quit-smoking aids
Diet books (eg slimming world/weight watchers)
Old books

Please note that if you have a big/heavy item that you wish to donate to the Party, we are happy to arrange collection at a mutually convenient date.
