Inspired by our friends in the Netherlands, who hold a huge second-hand book sale each year to raise funds for Hands at Work, Becci, our UK Coordinator, decided to try her own version – albeit on a much smaller scale!
With donated books from friends and family, and a few that had been gathering dust on her bookshelves at home, Becci and her mum set up a stall at a local school fair. Despite the sweltering day many people came along, and although the stall didn’t raise lots of money, it did offer a great opportunity to chat to them about Hands at Work, as well as to recycle pre-loved books.
It was a reminder that every fundraising effort counts, whether big or small, and shows that we can all play our part, right where we are, to help raise funds and support vulnerable children across Africa.
Are you doing any fundraising for Hands at Work? We’d love to hear about it – do let us know!
