Some fund raising ideas

Tell your family and friends what you are doing and who you are raising money for, and ask them to sponsor you. Try and get many small donations to add up to 2000 rupees.

Enjoy a DVD with friends. Tell them about the event; ask them to make a donation to raise the money.

Invite your neighbours for tea. Tell them about your endeavour and ask them to put something in an envelope.

Make a cake and take it into work/college. Tell your work mates about the event and ask them to buy a slice of your cake!

Knock at your neighbours’ doors and tell them what you are doing and ask them for a donation.

You will be surprised how soon the 50 and 100 rupee notes add up!

London

The Sharma Foundation have organised a parallel walk in London, so why not come and walk for us or a charity of your choice? Click here to sign up.

"The Sharma foundation give hope a chance and so can you."

The Route : We will begin at 10:00am at Hyde Park and Conclude the walk by 4:30pm (latest) at Tavistock Square Gardens. The broken down route is: Hyde Park Corner, Green Park, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Holborn, Russell Square (Tavistock Square Gardens). In event of the roads being closed for maintenance different crossings are in place. As we have chosen to host our sponsored walk in central London we have also taken the congested environment into consideration and have hence split the number of people into smaller groups. This was done to ensure the safety of them, the general public and also ensure that we will not interrupt any work that is taking place around our route.
