Hey everyone – we have just put an order in for a total of 61 boxes of Cadbury fundraising chocolates!!! Should be pretty easy to sell them as it’s only approx 2 and a half boxes each. Some may go through more boxes than others, so we can just divide them up as we need. We can’t send any of our order back to Cadbury though, but I can’t see us not selling them by the end of the year.

The chocolates should be delivered early next week so I’ll let everyone know when they arrive and organise a place and time for you to come and collect them to get started 🙂

Tips / notes:

• Store them in a cool location once you pick them up so they remain in a good condition for when you sell them to people
• Cadbury state that the sell prices are RRP, and are note required to sell them at that amount. You can increase the price if you think people will be happy to purchase them for more than the RRP listed, or you can reduce the price and cut into your profit if you think you can sell more at a cheaper price – up to you
• Keep chocolates of the same price in the same box if you decide to mix them up
• Still negotiating with heads of school as to whether we can officially sell them at school as a fundraiser, so more on that later
• Ask your parents if they would mind leaving one at the lunch/staffroom at work
• If you are part of a social/church/sport club, use them as an opportunity to fundraise

What to do with the money…

To make life easier, once you sell a box, please return the money in the envelope to Miss Young, Mr Kirby or Mr Belson, and ensure your name is on the envelope provided. We will simply record all collections on a spreadsheet against each person’s name and deposit everyone’s fundraising at the same time to save you doing multiple trips to the bank. Keep a tally yourself of how much you have raised so you can double-check. Once all the money is in, you can then individually update your Everyday Hero account with an Offline Donation for the amount you raised.

Which chocolates?

From the meeting we had with you all from both campuses, the interest was in the following chocolates.
