Tea-licious. Why not make a batch and hold your own AmnesTea?

What this group's discussing (23)
Hi, I have an ambitious idea to raise money by having one of my friend's placed within a cage in the centre of Manchester to show how people are trapped into situations they don't want to be in. I am wondering whether this may be too much and whether people may get offended by this?
I hear Amnesty supporter Dawn organised an event at a High School with an Elvis impersonator! She charged £12 for tickets and food for the buffet was donated by 'Greggs'. She raised nearly £1000 and won one of Amnesty's 'Soap and Glory' gift sets!
Another winner was a supporter in London who raised over £2000 with an Amnestea event!
Lily in London had an event with a 'Seven Deadly Sins' theme. "Everyone was assigned a sin which they had to dress up as (we had pajamas for sloth, giant human cupcakes for gluttony and the hulk for wrath, to name a few!) and each room of the house was decorated as one sin", she told us.
So think outside the box for your AmnesTEAs - and it could be an event to remember for years to come!
Meanwhile check out our Amnestea pages and Flickr slideshow - http://www.amnesty.org.uk/content.asp?CategoryI...
Love it or loathe it, Valentine's Day will soon be upon us. Whether people are interested in Amnesty or not, they are certainly interested in each other, so why not capitalise on all those warm and fuzzy feeling by organising a Valentine's Dance - or how about a Speed Dating event?
Make it a sponsored event or charge for tickets; sell the lovers cupcakes or flowers... Could this be the start of something beautiful?
Does anyone else have any good ideas for Valentine's fundraisers?
Love is a Human Right!

Here are some tips from a recent workshop...
*Get things donated or at a discount, like the venue or refreshments.
*Try and link the campaign to the event - dress code could be relevant ie red. yellow and black clothes for a 'Shell Hell' event
*Refreshments as an add-on to any event - people always want a snack, whether your event is a club night, comedy event or just letter-writing.
*Social events - everyone can get something out of these.
*using the contacts and skills of the group - play to your strengths. If someone is a dab hand with a paintbrush, have them make a banner. If they can crunch the numbers, put them in charge of the accounts!
*Keep it convenient - have a location handy for everyone, and time the event so that people can come straight from work, school, or lectures.
Great, this is exacxtly what i needed help with as well,
but does anyone have any quick ideas that could function in a week?
